Windows 10 unable to open; White box opens for 3 seconds and closes

Hello, I am installing it on Windows 10. I have a AMD FX 4100 and Geforce 750, 8GB ram.

I installed the main core game to C:\NHL 2004 after mounting the ISO's and going through the set up. I then run the interface and ensure nothing is blocked through winrar and extract it to C:\NHL 2004. After that I extract roster and install 3 files to DB in
C:\Users\goinc\Documents and the rest into C:\NHL 2004.

When running the launcher a small white box opens in the top right corner. If I uses windowed in the .ini file the white box is there for 1 or 2 seconds before disappearing. If I run full screen it will change my monitor resolution from the native 2560 x 1080 to something like 640x480 with everything very zoomed in and then it stops and reverts back to native after 2 seconds and nothing opens.

I have clean installed the full game 3 times and the mods 3 times, extracting all files directly to C:\NHL 2004 except for 3 files that I put in DB in User documents.

I have tried disabling the intro, and unplugging my 7.1 wireless headphones. I have taken about 4 hours at this trying to get it to work but I am not at a loss after searching this forum and running out of options. Any feedback would be amazing, thank you!

EDIT: Top left corner

Did you use launcher 1.45 or launcher 1.5? The versio which comes with the interface package is 1.45.

Also did you run the launcher as an admin and also in xp compatibility mode?

Where would I find 1.5, I followed all the download links within the thread. I also ran admin and tried each compatability available.

The launcher version when opened says 1.04

EDIT : I have now found the thread and downloaded the latest launcher 1.5.

Deleted the launcher folder that was there and extracted everything.
I am now experiencing the same issue with windowed VS full screen except now there is no white box.

EDIT 2: Going through a 100% fresh install again with new launcher.

EDIT 3: Complete fresh install, still having the same issue previously with both verisons of the launchers. Tried compatability on both.

FINAL EDIT: I am pretty much out of ideas, I redownloaded the NHL 04 and remounted them and installed, redownloaded all mod files and launcher, reinstalled everything and still am having the same problem. For some additional information when running the launchers nhl04 shows up in task manager for a little less than a second and then quickly disappeares.

Do you have a firewall and antivirus software ?
If so you should "trust" the whole nhl2004 folder and check if no files are in quarantine

The only AV I use is Windows defender, I have all the files excluded through defender.

EDIT: To add onto this in task manager when the nhl04 shows up if you click the arrow for related processes it shows "windows problem reporter" as well before it disappears with the jhl04 process.

FINAL POST GOT GAME WORKING:

Figured it was about time to do it anyways, i wiped my PC and redownloaded my core programs I use and installed the game again, was able to get it working with any resolution and compatability for xp -

I GUESS NOT FINAL EDIT:

I may have spoken too soon, when loading into a game I am stuck on the loading screen, the wheel in the middle is spinning but nothing ever happens.

Seems like it is only some stadiums I cannot load

Did you try nhl home teams or some european leagues?

The arena loading screen problem happens usually when something went wrong while you installed arena.rar or rosters. You should try to install /extract them again. Now you're already quite close to get game work properly :good:
