I installed nba live 2k3 and it worked but after choosing teams the game crashes. I thought i read somewhere that ea sports games crash on win xp. Is it something that can be solved? I have an nvidia geforce 3 so could it be drivers? I don't get an error the game just freezes.

Have you tried running the came in Windows 98/2000 compatibility mode? You right click on the shortcut and then click on the Compatibility tab and change it from there. Hope this helps.

it might be the driver problem.. i too are running nbalive 2k3 on winxp.. the game has never crashed me.. however, from time to time the game seems to fail to recognize my game pad during game play.. you should try a different version of nvidia drivers.. fyi, i'm still using 23.11 driver..

All EA games that I tried on Win XP (NBA2K3, FIFA 2003, Madden 2003, NHL 2003) work just fine.

Thanks, i think i got a clue when playing a different game that crashed and said that i may have problems due to video driver and then the game crashed after a few minutes. I'll see if updating the driver fixes both games.
