Need some help, game wont run right

Hi all. I recently installed NBA Live 07 on my comp and when I try to play it is very very choppy. Like, goes for a second and then pauses for 8 or 10. Heres my specs

Operating System Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)

System Memory 512.5

Processor Speed 2099.9

DirectX Version 9.0c

Display Device NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500

Display Memory 256.0

Display Driver 6.14.10.8195

Sound Device Realtek AC97 Audio

Sound Driver 5.10.5730

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Have you tried updating the vid card driver? And try to close all the programs running before playing. (eg. anti-virus etc)

yep, drivers are all up to date
