I’m having a similar problem. I’m running An Athlon XP with 1.35 GHz and 512 MB of DDR RAM. The video card is a Radeon 7000 (QY) with Internal DAC (300MHz) and 32 MB of RAM. Here’s what I’m getting. I’m using the ATI drivers from Jan 19, 2004 with up to date Windows fixes. Is my video card just too old or is there a fix?

Your video card BARELY meets the minimum requirements to play the game. But…
From the README.TXT:
