BINGO!
I went for a total reinstall. BUT, whereas before I had just moved the whole game folder from program files etc. to the C: drive, I made sure I installed directly this time (I even goofed and left the EA Sports folder in the way, and re-reinstalled w/out). SO note for anyone else to used that custom install choice the 1st time.

Now, to figure out just how to be a hockey player...!

Thanks again for the mod and help

I initially installed using the advanced option to D:\games\nhl 2004 but I still get a white screen.

I'm using win 7 x64
I'm an admin
manually installed all mods updates and addons as per the posted instructions
tried compatibility mode and running as admin
still no go.

I have one question; do we have to install 'macromedia flash' when installing nhl 2004? That's the only step i skipped as I didn't want to mess with my current flash install.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as this is my first time.

Are you sure you have extracted the interface files to the \NHL 2004 root folder and overwritten everything?

It's also important that this registry key points to your NHl 2004 folder:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\EA SPORTS\NHL 2004\Install Dir

I checked the reg key but thought it was probably ok. It's listed as : d:\games\NHL200~1\. I can change it to NHL2004 if you think that will help.

I saw this mod posted on reddit this morning and i thought i'd check it out. it's a tremendous amount of work you guys have done. i am however, also having a white screen error. i'm afraid i don't have as much information as the other guys though. i tried to start the game before the interface installation and it was just a white screen. no error messages.

then i installed the interface mod, but i have the same issue. white screen. doesn't matter which compatibility i run in, admin or not =/

i'm running windows 7 32 bit

Do you get any error messages in Windows event viewer? What version of internet explorer do you have installed?

I have the same problem. Saw it on reddit, installed the interface and it just died. I get all of the script errors listed here. Tried installing to e:\games\NHL 04\ as well as C:\NHL 2004

After the 'its in the game' crap it goes to a white screen and will not progress.

This is all I get in the event log.

Faulting application name: nhl2004.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x72454562
Faulting module name: nhl2004.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x72454562
Exception code: 0xc0000005

Any help would be appreciated, i really want to try this mod :)

well i read some things on some other forums and some people recommended just waiting. admittedly, i was a little impatient. nothing was happening in about 40 seconds so i would always ctrl-alt-esc out.

i decided to wait 5 minutes or so. after about 2 minutes, the game said 'ie compatibility fix has been set. please restart game.' the game quit out and i ran it again.

about another 2 minutes of waiting on the white screen and i was at the main menu.

so this is really just a case of me being an impatient idiot.

if anyone else is getting a white screen with no error messages, just WAIT.

Hi, I have the exact same problem as dalight13 and I have tried everything that you guys suggested here and still the same thing. Even when I use Vod's launcher the game doesn't launch at the resolution I set it to and still I get the same script errors.
Do you have any other suggestions?

Could help - I prefer C:\NHL2004 or D:\NHL2004 - no blanks in the folder

First I'll try with newest updated interface - just updated today... if that doesn't work, I will try shorter path. Thanks and I'll let you know how it goes!

If you change the path to the game, make sure to run it using launcher.exe since it updates the registry to point to the new path.

If I were to change the path, would I have to reinstall the base game to C:\NHL2004 or just extract the RARs there? Or even just cut and paste?
