Just an FYI update: My game is working fine now. I didn't do anything, so I don't know what the solution was.
For everyone's basic information, ME-1 is simply too old to fall for the foolish smoke and mirrors trickery that Intel prefers to palm off on the public in place of the real gaming graphics that this game was designed to run on. If you don't have a real graphics card from a real graphics company, you can EXPECT a variety of bad behaviors from your junk video chips.
That also goes for attempting to run the game with the cheapest possible of business graphics from AMD and nVIDIA, that aren't even as efficient as theinadequate Intel stuff:
Video [b][i]Card[/b]:[/i]
NVIDIA GeForce 6 series (6800GT or better: G.205, 210, 310, 520, 620, 7100, 7200, 7300, 7400, 7500, 7600 GS, 8200, 8300, 8400 GS, 8500, 9100, 9200, & 9300 are below minimum system requirements)
ATI Radeon X1650 XT or better (X1050, X1300, X1300 Pro, *X1550*, HD 2400, HD 3100, HD 3200, HD 3450, HD 3470, HD 4200, HD 4250, HD 4270, HD 4350, HD 4550, and ("[u][b]probably[/b][/u]") HD 5450 / 6350 are below minimum system requirements) no video device with Intel's name on it is supported in any way, shape, or form.
(Varying amounts of VRAM beyond 256 have no detectable influence)
