Having said all that, I feel like you need to use caution, because since your Radeon 7000 doesn't support DirectX 9, if you try to upgrade to it, that might mess up your configuration. If it turns out that outdated DirectX is your problem, you need to somehow upgrade to DirectX 8, and not any higher.

Right now, your video card drivers are the main thing you need to check into updating. Try and find out what version you have, and what version is the latest for the Radeon 7000.

Check out your DirectX version by going down to the "Start" button at the lower left corner of your Windows desktop, clicking on "Run" from that menu, and then typing "dxdiag" (no quotation marks) in the box. A readout will come up and tell you what version of DirectX you're using, it's the last thing on the list on that first display.
