Tony Hawk Hardboot

I Have Win Xp With A Radeon 128mb Ddr Video Card A 2.4gig Celeron Processor And 512mb Of Ddr Ram. Only When Playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater2 My Computer Hardboots Within The First Few Seconds Of The Game I Can Play Many Other Games Without This Problem. Activision Says Update Windows. Well Like Many, I Dont Exactly "own" My Copy Of Xp Pro So It Will Not Let Me Update Xp. Just Wondering If Anyone Had Any Suggestions For Me. Should I Change The Key? Could It Be Anything Other Than The Updates? Thanks
