Yeah, i have the same problem playing my old (from Amazon Marketplace and suspiciously legal) copy of AO on Vista. The only solution I've found is to minimize the window as the video starts and opening it again as quickly as possible, but this means you miss the first few seconds, sometimes lose sync with the sound and really annoys my laptop. I don't know if there's a better solution, and I feel your pain if you haven't played the game before.
I'd suggest watching them on youtube as you pass them ingame, but I can't do better than that. It might be screen-resolution related. It doesn't happen on AE, though, so you'll be ok when you get there.
(Man, I was hoping that'd be sorted out for the Steam version.)
