Right, so i'm trying to overclock my ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9000, but msi afterburner will not let me change any of the sliders, not even the fan speed. And its and AMD card, so i know it can be overclocked. Any ideas?

Wow that card is ancient. It was out long before AMD bought ATI. Driver support for it was drop long ago which is why the newer catalyst drivers won't work. The gpu overclocking software won't work and with a card like that it's a moot point anyway.

No, thats what it is, on the card it says: ATI RADEON 9000/64M DDR PCI. and the rest is irreverent like: WY2015099411286 Warranty 1 year Made in China.

if this is the same $20 card that comes up when googling it, i highly doubt it was made for over clocking. OCing is reserved for mid-high end cards. that card doesn't even compete with modern integrated graphics.
