Hi solosevensix, welcome to TSF.
The problem is likely due to the Intel GMA 3100. The IGP's aren't officially supported by the game and are quite slow.
You could try and update the driver here. But you would be better off purchasing a dedicated graphics card.

I have to agree wih Tiber and say that intel gIGP's are the worst graphical solutions you can have.

The GMA 3100 is about as powerful as a Nvidia 5600FX
