Sounds to me that your running NT or Win2000 or Windows XP if so thing are a lot harder and I don't know how to fix. If your running windows98 It should be fine

Did you re-install the game or just use the original installation?
If it is the old installation, you need to backup your Savedata folder and then do a CLEAN installation. That means getting rid of all traces of the old installation - including the registry entires.

If you haven't had any experience editing your Registry, I advise against starting now. It's just that whenever I uninstall any of EA's games I go and purge all traces from the registry - just to make sure.
There are some utilities like RegClean that will do a pretty good job of getting rid of registry entries that are no longer needed, so that might be a good option for you. Just run it after you do the uninstallation. You can find it at most freeware/shareware sites like Download.com.
I hope this helps.
