Hi,

I just bought fifa 2004, and for some reason, it freezes, sometimes in the menu, sometimes during the game, or when i am playing the game and press esc it freezes. I have nhl 2004 battlefield 1942 and many other games and everything is running smoothly without any problems at all. I have P3 800 MHZ, 256 RAM, ATI RADEON 8500 LE 128 MB DDR. Does anyone know what i can do to fix this, maybe some updates that i dont know about or something in the DXDIAG that i need to change.

THANKS.

Ted.

Hi Ted,

I have the same graphics chip as urs (ATI radeon 8500) and my game freezes aswell. I tried downloading the catalyst 3.1 version off the radeon website, I hope that will help.

disable the hardware cursor. you can to that by going to the display properties, go to settings, advanced, troubleshoot, and move the slider an inch to the left. and dl the catalyst 3.1. that did the trick for me
