You either have to update your drivers, which fixed the same problem for me, or add some lines to your ini file. Sorry I don't know what exactly, but if you dig around, possibly very deep, you'll find a thread here that has the solution.

PS Here try this thread:

Yes, and it is www.Nvidia.com, where the drivers are. No problem with my GeForce type 2 card, but drivers for my old ATI card, may have corrupted some files. Also is DX Direct Draw and Direct 3D acceleration all the way on or up.

May have something to do with that.

Newer ATI cards must have better drivers for the game.
As they seem to work, but no problems with the Nvidia drivers, although not using the latest version (since I am running Windows 2000 Professional) but needed for Windows XP for the game.
