Prince Of Persia:Sands Of Time does not support MX series of GeForce cards. It needs a Direct-X 9 compatible card. It's requirements state a GeForce 3 or ATi Radeon 8500 or greater.

What's ur OS? NFS 5 needs a compatibility patch to work properly with XP.

I suppose Klaw-24 is right with the Geforce Mx series compatibility probs as i have the same probs on my Integrated Nforce 32MB chipset it pops up with the same error.I suggest u go in for a Fx series as its the bare Minimum for the latest and I do mean serious latest games avalaible now.
And as for alib in ur case it seems that there hasn't been a registry for these games (atleast thats what i feel for NFS 5)just search for a registry file which looks like a green cubical shaped icon and double click on and and accept it and u just might be able to run it.As for Fifa 2002 try re-installing it properly and patch it if u can.

well .. i must confess one thing here ..
both the games are not installed.
they are just copy-pasted.
they were downloaded from somewhere i dont know ( warez or p2p whtever )
but the folder contains a file which enters the registry .
i assuring u there is no problem in registry.
cos the game runs in almost every comp in my lan ..
