Hi everybody,

Okay your best bet if you can't replace the graphics card, is play at a smaller resolution, when Skyrim comes up it asks what resolution you want to play it in, hopefully that should increase the FPS

I think the big thing here is you don't have a graphics card, so that will mean your using IGPU on the processor, which is not overly good for gaming. You could try and run Skyrim on the lowest settings and still get like 25-30fps maybe. You can pick up a second hand graphics card for less then £100 easily, which will be able to run Skyrim great.
