Direct 3D failure, no 3D hardware found

[Scodooble]

I've just dug out Star Wars Episode 1 Racer for a bit of fun, it's an ancient game and I have a new gaming laptop however when I try to run the program I get the warning message: Direct 3D failure, no 3D hardware found. I have no idea how to fix this can anyone help?
