Intel Card...Look.

Before I say much I'm just going to say I want NO replies saying "Get a better card" "Then your computer must suck" or "Reinstall it"-I already reinstalled it, my computer is pretty good for when I got it, and I don't have the money for another card, plus there is another problem...

I have an Intel integrated card, and If anyone says it's good, I will laugh at them. It's complete 'name' or model', whatever, is Intel(R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV graphics controller, 64mb, with the newest drivers and such, being version 6.14.10.3889, and I have beyond enough RAM and processing power to run Halo smoothly. The problem is, I get THE worst graphics you can get on Halo. Period. They stay the exact same bad even with every setting on high or low, excluding projectiles, which are pretty good compared to everything else.
I can't get team colours, individual colours, decals, speculars, ANYTHING good, and grey MC's are really annoying. Heck, you should see the ground. It is pitiful (Image below, mind the purple team marker, I was messing around with the UI. I got a hog in the picture, and in the bottem right corner, is a MC).

I want to know why this is, and how I can get just even the colours of MC. I have maxed out all of the graphics settings on my computer and can't get any better graphics, except for one time, by a fluke, the ground had a %5 better texture.

Could it be because of safe mode? I think I might be in it, but I have no clue how to shut it off (In the video options, some are greyed out).

So, how do I get better graphics than those in the picture below (Warning, don't puke).? Just remember, I have tried every upgrade for my chipset and drivers, but nothing helps.

I had that same chipset until I got my nVidia GeForce FX 5700LE. Since you can't buy a new card, I suggest updating the drivers directly from Intel's site, at www.intel.com I think you can take it from there, but anyway, download the driver updates from them, and everyting should looks a little better, armour colors, simple ground tex's. But just so you know, it is not possible to get decals, specular, or shadows with Intel graphics.

Yea, if you have the latest version of your drivers and DirectX and you have already tried fooling with the settings and nothing changes. It won't get any better. You'll have to wait till they release a new driver that supports the advanced features. Search before you post. Everyone keeps posting this question but specific to their exact card instead of following the instructions from similiar threads.
