As Tim already noted, your laptop apparently uses Trident
CyberBlade Ai1 graphics card, which is quite old and designed
for DirectX 6-8. This is not a problem if the device driver is
up to date, but the newest I found seems to be from 2003. This
can be a problem if it does not correctly support DirectX 9.0c
(released in 2004).
You should see what the DirectX diagnostics tool says
(dxdiag.exe - found in WINDIR\system32) and possibly update
the driver. Then cross your fingers and see what happens.
