that happened to me before but it was on live03. try running directx diagnostics and check if direct3d and direct draw is enabled...

It could be a problem with your graphics card, have you had live 04 up and running on that pc before?
Thats what mine was doing when i first got the game. It might not be your card but worth looking into.

how do i run direct x diagnostics and check if direct3d and direct draw are enabled?

Just run Windows Update and it installs the update so the game works. I can't remember which update it is specifically but I have this problem everytime I reinstall Windows XP. Once it has downloaded all the windows updates NBA Live 2004 runs fine..

open the technical support file, click guides, click directx, theres a button there that will run dxdiagnostics when you click it. check if direct3d and direct draw is enabled.

i have installed all the updates and still doesnt work....this problem was happening before the reinstallation of windows too... so i dont think your advice would be the the solution of my problem. thanks very much for your feedback.

I ran dxdiagnostics... no problem found in any areas...direct3d and direct draw are enabled....now what?

thank you very much for your reply.
