Backing up the game

How do you go about backing up the game so that if a zip doesn't work out you don't have to start over from square one? I've done about 8-10 fresh installs and it's just really a let down when you get the white screen of death.

Basically, your whole NHL 2004 folders. The main game folder and your my documents.

Just backing up the folder or files that are getting updated.

Reinstalling the same files over and over again doesn't help at all. If you get the white screen your problem is not file related.

Ok so the launcher doesn't fix my white screen problem and after about 10 fresh installs I have determined that the game goes to white after I've installed ditty packs that are listed here which doesn't make any sense because ditties don't interface with the game until you're IN game. Also deleting the user folder that the ditties are in should rectify the problem but it doesn't so i'm stumped.

This seems to be related to extraction :huh:

Nothing to do with nhl04 :huh:
