The boot files were all corrupted. The problem was this computer originally shipped with Vista, but I had XP Professional on it. So the standard restore factory settings etc. would have left me with Vista. Plus this guy did a house call, which was nice. This was not Staples or Future Shop. I'm not in North America. It's entirely possible that the virus was from somewhere else, but this is the best suspect I have. Just putting it out there to warn others. There's no reason that virus programs should suspect EXE files just because they don't come from big corporations. I've rolled my own EXEs a few times, and they never got flagged. |

So North America only has places that have repair people that are not totally trained? Just because they did a house call, doesn't mean that they are any better than the untrained lacky at Staples A standard restore would have you reinstall the OS from the discs that you have whether it is XP Pro or Vista. Which you could yourself unless the XP Pro you have is an illegal version of it. NHL 2004 and it's addons have nothing to do with the boot file. The best suspect that it is not a virus is that everyone else never had their PC crap out like you did. If it was a virus, you would be in a long list of people with the same problem. |

Just to let you know I am having trouble after installing the latest updates from Dec. 24 on. I have a Trojan Worm virus Danker6 and problems with the project2 exe. Game ran fine before the updates. So Decided to get rid of the viruses and reinstall the game all over from scratch. I place it in C:\NHL2004 but it always ends up in program file EA Sports\Nhl2004. Any ideas?? |

When you install the game, go into the advance install and select C:\NHL2004 Also, I haven't gotten any virus warnings. |

I understand that Trent but why all of a sudden has this happened. I've been playing the mod since Oct. and frequently downloading the updates with never a problem. Was just concerned about that password stealer message that pops up. |

Probably just an update in your virus software, which creates the false alarm. Read this about false positives, which are very common nowadays. http://antivirus.about.com/od/antivirusglo...lsepositive.htm |

Its strange, all of a sudden my game stalls at the game preview screen. I get through everything else fine but it just stalls at the loading screen. I don't get error messages or crashes or anything, it just stalls. Strange. Anyone have a solution? |

Question: Installed everything necessary, and can play individual games just fine, but when I try to play season, the game crashes after I choose human controlled team and whatnot...is this because I'm using IE9? |
