Have you downloaded the newest drivers from ATI? Try that first. If you are
still having issues, let us know what else you've tried.

Try setting the desktop resolution to what the game will be using. I found
that with WOW i couldnt get it to work at the desktop default 1200x800 but
when i changed the desktop to 1024x768 which is what i had the game set at,
every think worked out.
