Uninstall, reinstall from your ORIGINAL discs, patch to the latest version and tell me if it runs. We need to make sure the original runs before we apply any crack. Otherwise it might be a video or sound driver problem.

black desktop......hang for the long time..

A black screen usually means DX problems with video cards/drivers so check the ReadMe file for supported cards and update your video card drivers...

For the rest of you keep in mind that many older cards like Voodoo are not supported by FIFA 2003, NHL 2003, NBA LIVE 2003. (TCM 2003 & MADDEN 2003 work fine

).

Unless EA, offer Tech Support through forums your gonna have to wait for a patch. You have done the right things so far by the sounds of it.

BTW: All new EA Games seem to want Net Access. Because of this I too would get that Black Screen at startup because my firewall was waiting for a response as to whether it should allow the game to 'access' the net. Grant access to the game and then try and run it. Not saying that might fix it, but it worked for me.

I had the same problem with bf1942 and zonealarm, it was driving me NUTS

, when this happened, I got a black screen and ALL I could do was switch off the pc, nothing else allowed me to switch to the desktop and answer the zonealarm dialog. Now I know about it, I make sure to add bf1942.exe manually to zonealarm before trying to run it for the first time.

You can press "Y" to accept the ZA dialog box if you are unable to see or click it - it won't set it up to allow it all the time, but it at least lets you continue with the game and then you can configure it later.

That was one of the first things I tried

Unfortunately, it didn't work, at least for bf1942.

E.xz.E.z · #12 16-11-2002, 13:34

i tryed to press "Y" once, then more times, and same prob
it doesnt appear , that dialog, or i dont see it,
but from what ive read/heard its a Video Card prob,

, i was thinking of trying some tweak`ing , ill see
or jsut wait for a patch
thank you all...

RincewindTheWiz · #13 16-11-2002, 14:46

Well, do you have a firewall ExzEz ? One that pops up a dialog box whenever a new program tries to access the net, like Zonealarm ? If you do have Zonealarm, you can go to the programs tab, right click on a program and select "Add program...". Then you have to browse and select the fifa2003 executable, the same filename as the crack you installed. Make sure it's either on a red cross or a green check mark, NOT the black question mark.

E.xz.E.z · #14 17-11-2002, 12:14

no i dont have any firewalls, and i do not think this is related to the prob, i have 2 friends whit same video card that have same prob and a friend whit geforce3 and at him fifa works perfect, we tryed fifa on some pc`s
so what i think..the prob is a videocard , maybe a setting
i really dont know about the tweaks i can make to make it run...
thx for any help!

GCS · #15 17-11-2002, 16:18

If i remember well Fifa 2003 requires 24-bit Z-Buffer support and it uses 24-bit textures. Check your video card's drivers Advanced Properties.

Note down any changes you make so you can revert back...
