(I'm Reposting this here as I feel its more appropriate.)

I'm having an issue not shown in that list. I've been having Trouble getting the boston bruins to work in game. Everytime I try to go in game with them, the game will crash at the loading screen no matter if its at home away, whatever, and their the only team that does it.


Btw, I've installed the newest updates

I literally have tried everything in this thread and am still coming up with NHL2004.exe has stopped working. This is the message when I run launcher.exe.

When I run NHL2004.exe as an administrator I get a blank white screen and it becomes unresponsive.

I've unblocked the interface.. extracted it overwriting the previous game files.. Set it to both XP compatibility modes.. reinstalled the game/interface 10+ times.. literally followed the step by step installation guide step by step and nothing.

Yes on both nhl04.exe and launcher.exe

Edit: literally allowed every .exe file in the folder and it still crashes at startup without reaching the game.

Double check the rosters first.

*.exh and *.exha to \my documents\nhl 2004\db
db.viv and tuning.viv to X:\NHL 2004\db (X: being the actual installation folder)

the roster files are where they need to be like that, it still loads forever

Quick games vs the CPU with Calgary vs Florida(home), Winnipeg vs. San Jose(home), but the game loaded fine when it was Los Angeles vs. Boston at the TD Garden though (only once). An online game vs a friend loaded forever, the game was St. Louis vs Nashville.

Nevermind, it turns out it was the db.viv and tuning.viv that was causing the problems. I installed the latest db and tuning files (and latest rosters to be safe) from the rosters download on the forum and it works fine now.

A couple of months ago, I built a new PC. The unmodded NHL 04 worked fine, but when using the launcher it says something like your video card couldn't be initialized, please update your drivers. On my previous Windows 8.1/GTX 660 PC it worked fine... Any ideas how to fix?

PC specs:
Windows 10 Pro 64 bit
Intel Core i7 6700k
GTX 970 (drivers up to date)
16 GB DDR4 RAM

What about the white screen of death ? I installed NHL 2004, after that the V1 vanilla mod, played 5 games with Tampa in season mode and saved it normally, exited the game normally. Since then when I opet NHL 2004 all I get is the white screen of death and it stays like that no matter how much I wait. I know this problem has been mentioned milion times but I can't seem to find the solution. I reinstalled the interface (yes I hit unblock) and still the same thing <_< If it isn't the interface, then what can it be ? I mean it was running normally like I said and after 5 games in season, BAM, the white screen of death :angry: I didn't get any script errors, any ''NHL 2004 has stopped working'' or stuff like that, just the freaking white screen...Is this game just not made for my laptop or what ? Sorry, I know this question about the white screen has been answered around milion times but I just don't even remember the possible solutions, I wasn't active here for some time, I have University things to do etc...

I cannot even install the basic game from my discs. I have Windows 10 64 bit. I get a "hardware i/o error" for autorun. Tried compatibility settings, etc. Nada. Thoughts?

Maybe your discs are broken. Are they original CD's?

I sent you some information how to get the game in PM.

Yes, they are original disks. Worked fine on Windows XP, but since I upgraded to Windows 10, no go. Saw a lot of the other workarounds for other issues with Windows 10 but was hoping someone had an answer for that one. Thanks for the help with the PM. I appreciate it.
