I think the cause is that you haven't set your texture details to high.
I still can't read peoples minds, nor can I read peoples computers, even worse, I can't combine the two to read what is going wrong with your BC install...

Can you give me an example of a bridge with not working textures (and where they, don't, appear)?
I assume with "sov" you mean the sovereign bridge, is this the addition to the sovereign bridge?

Although integrated (intel) cards are usually subpar standard cards (even the basic ones), it should support 2048x2048 textures.
And bridges usually don't even use those (namely, lower than that).

right, the intrepid and defiant ships appear as white moulds kinda like clay if you can picture it. as for the bridges i get same aong with a black line going around the screen. however the charactors still appear. on the enterprise e bridge, everything is fine along with the ship itself. the game runs ok no problems and even multiplayer seems fine. just the textures it would seem

Looks like your PC is not reading the 2048px maps at all.
I dont know if KM had the medium and low textures included, if not, setting the game to low or medium res will simple have no effect.
try opening the defiant map (only one) and resizing it to 1024 in a graphics program.

Open the texture .tga (yourbcfolder/data/ships/defiant/) in a imaging program (photoshop, photopaint, paintshopro or a similar) and resize it from 2048x2048 to 1024x1024, then save it overwriting the original.
