If you're asking about a patch for this game, it won't help because your graphics processor does not support the game.

No, you just have a graphics processor that is not meant to play games. The Core i3 is a fine computer processor with a graphics chip built in to the processor itself. It's not really a card, but is an integrated graphics processor - it is not meant for playing games. Even newer adventure games have higher graphics requirements.
Especially if this is a laptop, there is nothing you can do. If it were a desktop you might be able to install a stand-alone video card.

Thanks so much for the advice. I am going to try it on my desktop. Maybe that will be compatible:) I would imagine you'd be just fine, even the lowest end desktop graphics processors provide full support for DX9.0c - If your running a GeForce 6200 or greater you'll at least be able to see the characters. Let us know how it goes.

I had the same problem with Alter Ego on my win7 64 bit laptop with intel graphics. But got it working.
I have the Shiny Loot download version; not sure if it's different for other versions but this worked for me:
Go to the folder where the game is installed. With my version I had no option of choosing where it would install (I hate that) and it went to C:\Program Files (x86)\Viva Media\Alter Ego US and run AlterEgo.exe from there. This way you get a screen with a 'Setup' choice. Somehow I didn't get that choice if I just started the game from the startmenu.
In the setup screen set Shader Level and Antialiasing level both to 0 (null).
The Bass is the basis
