Sega Virtual Tennis 3 - WILL NOT START

I am running Windows XP Pro on my 3-month old Intel MacBook via Apple's bootcamp software. XP runs on it no problem.

I have just purchased the PC port of Sega's Virtual Tennis 3. The installation of the game completed without a hitch. But when I start the game, what happens is, the dvd-rom drive revs up, making noise like it's reading something, then, I see the game icon appear in XP's taskbar(I mean where programs usually minimize to) for about a second, maybe less, and then it disappears, and the dvd-rom drive gets quiet, and nothing else happens. The game won't start. I don't understand why. Any assistance is appreciated.

I don't really know how the XP on a Mac thing works as far as drivers and everything, but Virtua Tennis 3 is a pretty demanding game, that needs at least a 128MB video card, preferably a Radeon 9800 or GeForce6 series video card. As far as I can tell, Macbooks come with a 64MB Intel GMA 950 integrated graphics processor. So, unless you have a different video card, or I've read something wrong, I don't think the game is going to work on a Macbook.

Have you tried playing any other games on it?
