A white screen is indicative of a video card not supporting Shader Model 2.0 (which is required for the game); this is something that required the hardware to support the feature in order to run it and cannot be patched in by software.

The GeForce 4x00 series also has no hardware support for Shader Model 2, so that's most likely your problem.
