EA Sports Games

Since updating to Service Pack 2 in Windows XP, I am having frequent lockups
while running games such as, FIFA Soccer 2004, FIFA Soccer 2002, and NBA Live
2003. I have upgraded my video driver and have gone through the typical
procedures for eliminating processes and background programs. I also disable
virus protection when running the games. I have tried various settings for
the video and audio whithin the games, but nothing works! Here might be some
helpful info from my dxdiag 9.0 file: Operating System: Windows XP Home
Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519)
Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
System Manufacturer: Compaq
System Model: DSDT
BIOS: 686Y2 v1.05
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.70GHz
Memory: 512MB RAM
Page File: 232MB used, 1014MB available
Windows Dir: C:\WINDOWS
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
DX Setup Parameters: Not found
DxDiag Version: 5.03.2600.2180 32bit Unicode
I have written to EA support and was given some suggestions, but again no
improvement in performance. I would really appreciate hearing from anyone if
they have some fresh ideas! Thanks.
