Graphics not appearing correctly

Hey guys, just heard about NS2 a couple days ago and pre-ordered/installed it. So I'm aware of the precaching issue but I noticed something else strange when trying to run Explore Mode. After running an incredibly long load time of 10 minutes, I'm given a red icon of "0 Players" but it appears to be mirrored and glitched. The screen was all black except for the emblem and after tweaking some of the graphic options, gave up and tried to join a server game. Similar issue of not being about to see anything other than the Blue/Red emblems. Now my computer isn't the best but I don't see any reason why I couldn't play NS2 on a lowered system setting. I'm not sure if when I adjusted some of the graphical options I had caused more of an issue.
New development - Got Explore mode to run, although everything is transparent. Perhaps my computer can't run the game? :(

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Really? You don't see any reason?
You are way below minimum requirements on both your CPU and GPU. Sorry to say this, but you straight up need a new computer to run this game.
Turning down resolution even more.
Turning off: Anti-Aliasing, Bloom, Atmospherics, Anisotropic Filtering, Ambient Occlusion, Shadows
In other words, you're quite a bit below the game's Minimum System Requirmens, which is a NVidia GeForce 8600
But yes, it appears a graphics card upgrade is in order; if memory serves, isn't that an integrated video card?
