Could you post your Computer's DxDiag so I can verify what you have ?

yes, you do have an integrated card. I merged your post with the existing thread for that.
You can try turning off Laptop mode but this can lead to performance issues.

I've never been able to use terrain paint. I just got the base game when it was free and I haven't been able to use terrain paint. I can put like flooring on the ground or foundation but I can't change the color of the area.
