Opinion regarding system requirements please

I can't get NBA Live 2005 to run. I get the "Nba2005 has caused an error in Nba2005.exe" error. As for system requirements, I meet all but 3 and don't fail any. There are 3 that give an "unknown compatibility", but they run other games with similar requirements.

Sorry to bother the forum with this question, but I have been trying all week to get this game working. I'm hoping someone may see something I am overlooking, or recommend something to download. I may have to buy new hardware, but I'd like to avoid that if possible. Any advice is appreciated.

Here is the Technical Support System Overview Comparison:
