Hi All,

I seek assistance if possible please ,

i've just purchased nba live for the pc 2008 ( I fancied a blast from the past ) . I've got a pc powerful enough to run the game but when I run it the screen turns black and nothing happens . If i press the windows key and go back to the desktop then click the game open again from the taskbar i can see the main menu and the game running but when the screen opens fully it just starts flickering really fast and the system freezes.

Are there any patches to fix this or is there some thing im doing wrong ?

thanks in advance I look forward to your advice
