Gaming problems in windows service pack 2

[playfinsher]

I am having problems running games on windows xp service pack 2. These games are running successfully on windows xp service pack 1. I think there is a problem with my drivers. My pc configuration is

Processor : AMD athlon 64-bit 2800+
Mother board: krypton
RAM : 512 MB DDR 333 FSB
GRAPHIC CARD :Nvidia FX 5200
Sound card : creative sound blaster 5.1

I am having problems running these games : HULK,CONSTANTINE PRINCE OF PERSIA : TWO THRONES etc

Please help me whether i require any windows xp fixes or anything.

Yes i had updated my drivers for all my devices. But i am not havng any results. I am defragmenting,disk cleaning my hard drive once in a week. I am using same drivers in both operating systems. But i dont know why these kind of games are running on OS with service pack 1 and crashes on service pack 2.

Could you be more specific about the what happens when it crashes?

 

[playfinsher]

When program crashes it returns to desktop

every thing is normal but the specified progams are causing problems in service pack 2, i tried chaging my drivers but still the problem persists.

have you updated your motherboard drivers?
.... the only other thing i can think of, is your card... Its really old
but i should still work.

I had updated my drivers and i no need to worry about my card b'coz those games which i had mentioned are running on service pack 1. My problem is "why they are not running on service pack 2 ?? "

Why have you only just installed sp2?

Have you patched the games?

 

[playfinsher]

i had patches from respected gaming sites. sp2 had got more protection than sp1 na, so i installed sp2

perhaps a bios flash could help... just throwing it out there >.>
