Fifa 08 takes time to start ,player select screen hangs for a while

[hearthackrz]

Well dont know whats the problem with my PC but it seems that Fifa 08 take a bit more time than it used to do previously ,I play Fifa 08 which used to run smoothly but nowadays it takes a while to start and it even hangs for atleast 3 secs or so before running smoothly and then it hangs again for a while,the problem is only while starting the game which takes quite a while to start and also lags when you select the players in the team selection mode and everywhere which are related to stats and selection ,anyways this annoying problem is with this game only, have reinstalled it twice but to no avail
PS:Counter Strike CZ works smoothly without any errors or problems
HELP!!!

Have you installed any patches to your game? Or try to restore the system to a point, where the game has played good.

Same patches are installed when the game used to work without hanging ,did system restore but still having the same problem ,should i install the game in a different drive?

Did this happen suddenly? I mean did it happen after you installed something else?

yeah it happened suddenly ,i think its something related to my RAM but then other games are running smoothly which needs more memory than FIFA 08 like crysis and assassin's creed which I ran just to check if its got to do with my PC ,Thanks !
