NFS:C demo is not fairing well with ATI cards. Anyways, what you may try is this:

* Get the latest ATI driver update.

* Extract the demo file and use AUTORUN.EXE to start the installation rather than using SETUP.exe.

* After installation is complete, update Directx9c to the latest Oct 2006 Version.

See if this works.
