I was referring to this.

That screen is from the vintage mod but you get the idea... same screen on your v1.

Try starting a season and see if a season game works for you. This is a long shot but why not...

reinstalled it without the mods and the game itself does the same thing. im out of ideas. just doesnt make sense, nhl09 works, a bunch of other 2004-2007 games work. graphics drivers up to date. everything was installed correctly. idk what to do anymore.

Can you send the picture from your main menu window? It really seems that something is not correctly installed because the game has problems in the menu too.

- Do you see all the players in the editlines windows?
- Do you have any other NHL 2004 mods installed in separated folders?
- Do you have team spesific background image or the default one?

The base game should not work at all anymore and that is why you need a rebuilt mod to play a game. You should use launcher to launch the game, everytime, but you already said that you're using so that is not a problem. :thinking: Did you install all the rebuilt packages?
A video is worth of thousand pictures.

I reinstalled my system last week - Win 7 64-bit Professional (C: drive) with all recent update including IE 11 and installed NHL 2004 into D:\NHL2004 and could run the base game without any patches.

If you don't have Win 8 or 8.1 and/or not an Alienware system then I bet that the error is a bad installation.

Did you try playing dynasty?

i looked elsewhere on the internet and someone said that they lowered their AGP* arperture setting in their bios from 256 to 128. and i dont have any advanced options in my bios. so i couldnt try that. this is what the properties look like for the graphics driver. maybe seeing the memory values here will help

(also notice that all of those other games work in the sidebar)




and here is the screenshot of the regular game main menu

Main menu looks ok. You obviously can install things, that's not the issue here.

Weird, weird. :thinking:

Try extracting this to your NHL 2004 folder and run the game

Hey.... that's progress. :D

Seriously... if I were you, I'd lose that piece of radioactive waste called Vista. I never had any luck with that OS myself. I suspect it's some kind of hardware/driver issue.

You can find Windows7 for very cheap from Torrent sites.

PS: Did you try all game modes? Dynasty, Shootout, Season, International,etc.?
