well I havent tried any Thief games on W7 yet but intend to over the next few days.. I have a great tool called "nHancer" for getting old games to work on new systems. Google it and see if it helps.. it is only for nVidia cards though and for ATI there is a different tool being made.. it is still in beta.
I got Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 working with the tool and it even removed the graphical glitches from using the widescreen MOD.
If that doesnt help just try googling "Thief 3 windows 7" and im sure you will find your answers..
If you get it working please reply with instructions :)
Cheers

The problem is that on-board graphics are generally not good enough to enable Thief 3 to run at all. If I recall correctly, the on-board graphics needs to be able to display Pixel Shader v.1.1, which most of them don't do.
