Warcraft III Cinematics Issue

Just installed War3 on my new laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium). Mostly it works great, but when I try to view a cinematic it only outputs sound and a blank screen. What really confuses me is that when I first patched the game to the most recent update the opening cinematic worked once, giving me the impression that the game is capable of working properly, it's just electing not to for some reason. I'm using the integrated graphics processor that came with my laptop (which I know is no substitute for a dedicated GPU, but it runs SC2 perfectly fine).

Steam: Autumn_Thunder - SC2: AutumnThundr.563 (NA) - Hearthstone: AutumnThundr.1383

    You could try looking up the problem here

    I seem to recall (without poking too much around in the site) that there was a similar issue in Vista that required registry editing to get the cinematics to play.
