try changing the video settings from direct3d to directdraw.. you won't get the nice lighting effects but it'llrun faster.

Only other thing I've seen is the video drivers, or the installation of Direct X. Trying doing a search on your hdd for a prog called 'dxdiag.exe', run it, and see if the direct draw and the directplay work ok there. I always start there.
