I've already been running in 16-bit mode. The settings in the game options have little effect, approx. +/- 1-3 fps. When toying with the texture options in ati tray tools something changed, but I'm not sure it was better after the tweaks. Disabling logging did nothing. Sorry for being such a pain. =) Any additional debugging options I could enable to get some more info?

That should be able to run the game fine, so it sounds like a driver or settings problem.

I finally found a solution. I found it while searching for a fix to a similar problem with another game, Eternity's Child. The game had great debug logs and clear warnings which lead me to the problem: wrong OpenGL version (Windows default dll) was detected and used. I've attached the registry patch I used to fix this problem.  For reference, my card is ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 and I'm running Windows XP SP3 with Omega Drivers.

EDIT:
Or would have attached if the attach functionality had been enabled. Great... Here is the code, just copy&paste this into (e.g.) openglfix.reg and double click to execute.

Code: [Select]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\OpenGLDrivers\ati2dvag]
"Dll"="atioglxx.dll"
"DriverVersion"=dword:00000001
"Flags"=dword:00000001
"Version"=dword:00000002

Nice, I'll have to keep this as a reference because my other laptop has the exact same graphics card as yours and same operating system. I haven't been able to install on that one currently since I need to replace the Hard drive. I had a cyclic redundancy error,... possibly from shock or something, but regardless the Hard drive is toast. Been looking at getting a nice 500GB 2.5" drive that's now available for a fairly reasonable price. Almost tempted to just give up that laptop and get a new one though in October. *shrug*
