Whenever I play the game portal I get the error The instruction at "0x########" referenced memory at "0x########". The memory could not be "read". This happens whenever I try to go through the first portal in the game(It runs perfectly before that). I tried to put the game on lowest graphics and put the portal depth on zero but it doesn't fix the problem. I closed all of the programs running in the background and downloaded the update for the video card. It didn't work so I reinstalled my video card again. I also tried to reinstall the game several times but it keeps on happening.

Here is a log of my Specs:

Your Intel 'graphics card' is the problem. You need to get a better graphics card if you want to play Portal.
