Det lader til at andre har haft samme problem, og løst det ved at ændre i Windows Power Management.

"I found my problem. Under Windows Power Management, I had it set to "min
power". This makes the AMD 2ghz cpu shift down to a lower speed to
conserve on power with not much going on. And this is what messed up the
game when it would launch. The Madden Football startup would see a 1ghz cpu
and set the game speed accordingly; yet the cpu would kick into hi-gear
during the actual game.
By turning Windows Power Management off, the game now runs at the correct
speed. Although at my age (49), I'd like to see a slider for "game speed"
for most games. My eye-hand isn't what it use to be. "
