That is because I1810 video cards drivers do not fully support
DirectX.  Did you check Intel URL for an updated driver.
Intel is usually VERY VERY lousey in providing PATCHES and 
new drivers.
Their tech support is one of the LOUSIEST I have ever seen in the world.
I had their C++/F compilers, reported bugs to them. It took them six month
to confirm the bugs, and no fixes yet, almost 11 months are gone.
