I called the tech department and they said that the wrong processor speed had nothing to do with the problem. They suggested I do all the stuff I had already done and then after that, they said they couldn't help me.
Obviously, I couldn't return the game since it was opened, so tried a "No-CD" patch and that seemed to solve the problem. It's pretty sad when a PURCHASED game has to be patched like this to work correctly.
Oh well, just in case someone else has similar problems.
