Your card can't support it. The software support is there (namely the DirectX framework), but the card cannot process do what is being asked of it.

Radeon® X850 Real-Time Demos
The following demos require Windows XP or Windows 2000 and Radeon® X800 or Radeon® X850 series graphics technology in order to run.


Ruby: Dangerous Curves


Ruby: Dangerous Curves
"Dangerous Curves" continues the adventures of ATI’s heroine, Ruby. During this 45 second sequence, Ruby has to avoid Optico’s automated drones intent on her demise. A high speed motorcycle chase ensues through a gritty tunnel, punctuated by yet another explosive conclusion.
Dangerous Curves continues ATI's tradition of blending movie and gaming genres to create a compelling demo. The use of real-time motion-blur, glows and precomputed radiance transfer (PRT) technology delivers realistic lighting and is a compelling demonstration of the cinematic experience that is possible on today’s 3D graphics hardware.

I got that from the ATi site, and it says minimum is the X850 range of cards, your card is a few generations behind mate. Sorry.
