Brand new install, no mods added. I go to start Dynasty, and after choosing a team, it crashes (nhl2004.exe has encountered a problem). No script errors. I've tried C:/nhl 2004, i've tried program files, ive tried compatibility mode, ive tried uninstalling IE. I'm running W7 32. Am I missing something? |

Why have you tried uninstalling IE? Game works with every IE version.If it crashes in the loading screen you might not have arena-lite.viv installed. Read the main installation post. |

Arena-lite.viv is from the mod. right? I'm still using a fresh install; I just wanted to make sure it works fine before I started to mod it, else I'd be stuck trying to figure out if the problem was the base game or the mod. |

This is also happening in Season mode; choose a team, hit next, "Simulating" green bar shows up, and it crashes. |

The base game does not work in modern machines. Why don't you simply install the mod which cracks the game? 1. Download the interface. 2. Right click the interface.rar -> "unblock" 3. Right click over NHL2004.EXE -> properties -> compatibilty "run as an administrator -> XP Compatibility mode" 4. Run the game from Launcher.exe Should work. Most people don't remember to unblock the RAR and set the NHL2004.EXE |

If you want to play just the base game, try using the NHL 2004 preservation mod (see my signature). Just copy the files and run the .reg file and you should be good to go. |

Ah, gotcha; I thought the mod was extra, I didn't know modifications were required to base game just to make it work. Thanks for your help! |
