Please be aware that even though AutoCAD Freestyle is an easy to use entry level program, certain minimum system and display requirements still need to be met to run and function correctly. For system requirements, see
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?siteID=123112&id=15005810
Display devices must be able to support Pixel Shader 3.0 and DirectX 9.0. As a rule of thumb, graphics cards that are supported for AutoCAD will work well for AutoCAD Freestyle. A list of these supported cards can be found here:

If the hardware on your system cannot support hardware acceleration, turning it on may result in unexpected delays or errors.
While some gaming-based graphics hardware will work, they are neither optimized for optimal performance nor supported by the graphics hardware vendor for CAD use. If you encounter problems, Autodesk will not be able to obtain support from the graphics hardware vendor to fix them. Also, some of the new UI in AutoCAD Freestyle is created in the Microsoft .net platform. .Net utilizes Direct3D and video card hardware to visualize the user interface. This visualization is done even when hardware acceleration is disabled. We recommend you use a certified or tested driver for the best experience.

hi -
It looks like you have a very old driver on your system. We reccommend that you go to this site- http://www.intel.com/support/detect.htm to update your driver. Please let us know if this does not help.
