Locks up with some games...

This is a discussion about Locks up with some games... in the Windows Hardware category; Got locks up with 2 games. For Deus Ex, when the EIDOS logo cinematic comes up my system suddenly freezes and I have no other choice than to reboot. For Ground Control, it freezes as soon as the menu comes up.

Got locks up with 2 games. For Deus Ex, when the EIDOS logo cinematic comes up my system suddenly freezes and I have no other choice than to reboot. For Ground Control, it freezes as soon as the menu comes up. I think this might come from the SBLive acceleration but I'm not really sure (if yes how do I disable it exactly?). If anybody has an idea please let me know, I'd really like to see these games running...
(I also got this problem with Shogun once or twice but since then it works fine, I don't get it...)
here's my system:
 
Win2000 Pro
PIII500
ASUS P3V4X
256MB
3D Prophet II GTS 64MB with drivers 5.22
SBLive with Liveware 3.0

OP
Finally the problem didn't come from the SBLive drivers as I thought (because a lot of people still seem to have problems with these). I've installed the drivers 5.32 in replacement of the 5.22 for the GTS2 just to be sure it didn't came from there and well, it works perfectly now for both games (32 bit, 1024*768, no fps or sound problems). Think I'm gonna hang on with win2K for some more time
