In short, your video drivers are broken.
What video card do you have, and what video drivers are you using ?
What OS ?
and it ends here.

Uhh.. yeah. Integrated chipset.
Well, the issue is still with your video drivers, and since you don't know what you have, I can't really say anything but update your video drivers. It is either intel / sis / via / nvidia / ati / s3
and it ends here.

You are missing the point. Your video adapter uses an SiS chipset - a brand famous for poor OpenGL support. Get the latest driver. You might have some success with changing display settings like color depth and hardware acceleration.

That leaves you with

1) play with the display settings
2) buy a real video card with OpenGL support. Even the cheapest nVidia card will better than what you have.

$30 for a Nvidia GeForce GT 240 - only two generations old. You know, a year and a half ago, these things were like $300. They're very good cards. In comparison, I have a six-generation-old Nvidia card (6600 GT) that runs Warzone just fine.

Try some older versions... you just need to keep trying versions until you find ones that work correctly.

Or just buy a decent gfx card, like the others said.
and it ends here.
