I had the same problem with my Dell Laptop, w/ ATI Mobility Radeon 9000. I had to add the card to the videcard.txt
Add Mobility Radeon 9000 listing to VideoCard.txt file:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type the following line, and then click OK:
:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Links 2003\VideoCard.txt
where is the letter of the hard disk on which Links 2003 is installed.
3. Locate the line: Vendor = 0x1002 "ATI" This is the beginning of the ATI device listing.
4. Scroll to the end of the ATI device listing. The last device noted in this section should be 0x5656 = "Mach 64" followed by the lines "BrokenAlphaTest" and "TextureOffset"
5. Create an additional line under this section, starting with the device ID copied down from the Dxdiag.txt file. The listing should appear like this: (the device ID in this example is 0x4c66)
0x4c66 = "Mobility Radeon 9000"
NoCopyZInVidMem
6. Click File and then choose Save. Click File and chose Exit.
Then I went to http://www.driverheaven.net/patje/ and applied a patch to the latest Catalyst driver, then ran the setup.exe in the ATI/Driver/ directory after expanding the D/L from ATI.

All is well now
