You might need to buy a graphics card thats compatable with maya, or even a Gforce card.
I've used a 4000 on my desktop (which is about the same age as yours) with very little problems (Unless you want a hardware render as it sometimes crashes) and my laptops got a 7900 GTX in and its fine with everything (So far!)
I dont think that reformatting your PC will do anything to be fair, but hey I could be wrong.

I updated it and it seems to work fine now:bow: :attn: . I'm also short of the "Your graphics card doesn't support hardware rendering. Pixel shading extensions insufficient." if I use High color. (I guess its better than true color?).
Thanks for help!:bow:

I think that the intel controller is an onboard card (as it thing that the Pc I had at work had that installed and it didnt have a dedicated graphcs card0 Could be wrong though, if you want to check just take off the cover and see if the AGP (i'm saying AGP as wit hte age of the PC its probable wont be SLI) slot is free or not, if it is then its an onboard card.
If your really getting into maya it might be worth saving up and getting a qualified card for your machine.
Cheers
