Grand theft auto 3 not running correctly?

I have a new laptop, and an original cd of gta for pc. It will only play the sounds but nothing more. Autorun came up with music but no more. Anyone got any ideas?

Update:

Ok so apparently it needs 32mb of graphics and their is over 1700mb of graphics available. Could this be the problem? And is there a way of fixing it?

    You probably don't have the correct Video card to play the game. Look on the box for the specifications and then on your computer to see if they match up or exceed.

    The obvious thing I can say is check the specs of your computer with the cd, chances are they are too low. I can't really tell you anything without that.

    The second thing is maybe your graphics card isn't working.

    Third thing is check your disk for damage because it's an old game.

    The last thing I can suggest is to check your disk drive because it may not be running the game correctly, is it making a skipping noise or anything like that? If it sounds weird when you put it in it may be your disk drive.

    Good luck, I hope I helped!
