First you should update your video and audio drivers. They are way too old - especially the video drivers.

You might try running the game at the same resolution as your desktop, as well. You would have to edit the Prefs.ini file to set that particular resolution, I think.
It is located in your 'My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2' folder.
