This game occasionally locks up during play does anyone have any suuggestions?

I've got a 1.2Gig Athlon, Geoforce2/64M Vid card, 256 megs RAM, Soundblaster live sound, running Windows ME. I've got the most current vid drivers and DirectX 8, I've also installed the most current patch for the game from EA. I've attempted turning off everything except explorer and systray and it still locks up.

It never seems to be in any particular area or during any specific action.
