[Wayne8Rooney]

I have the same problem. Where are you guys getting the download from? Could that be the problem? I got mine from gamershell.

 

[llTurboll]

I´ve got same problem too..fu**ing annoying..it kinda piss me off a bit!

 

[Wayne8Rooney]

I went to add/remove programs > system info > repair . see how this works.

 

[Wayne8Rooney]

Didn't work. Guess you're probably going to have to redownload it.

 

[JEEVS]

yeah

yeah i got the same problem. i posted my problem on another website. ill tell u guys if i find the solution. but when it happens to mine, i cant get out of the blank screen and i have to manually turn it off. sucks

 

[JEEVS]

i got mine from gamershell 2

 

[JEEVS]

how do u update that?

 

[Wayne8Rooney]

I have to manually turn mine off too. I think I don't have enough free memory.

i have downloaded it from largedownloads site only...so download isnt a prob. may be our config. post the soln. if any1 of u hav got it.

This My configuration :
AMD Athlon XP 2600+ 2GHZ
512 MB Memory RAM
ATI Radeon 320M 64MB

And This is the configuration of my second machine :
Intel Celeron 1.7 GHZ
512 MB Memory RAM
Nvidia MX 4000 120MB

I know that both my graphics cards aren't supposed to work with fifa08 but at least it should show something no freeze at starting and what make me say that is that i can play fifa07 in both of my machine and it works very good and very smooth and i saw that there is no huge graphical difference between it and fifa08

FIFA 08 dont work with ge force 4 mx series video drivers....

 

[imnali]

placed 07 exe in 08 folder...demo started...but still cant play da game

i got the same prob.....a blank screen after opening the demo....

since 07 & 08 r on the same game engine....i placed the 07 Demo exe in FIFA 08 folder & ran it...the demo starts fine ...the lang selection...then ea sports logo...then the logos of all leagues ...but it exits before displaying the menu.

I hope this would help somebody to find out what is wrong with the demo....waiting for a solution..

Already multiple threads on the subject. Look around before you post. Mods could you combine all the threads so that eveyones ideas are in the same place and if a solution comes along we won't have to search for it. Please. Kind of ridiculous with people making accounts just to ask this question in there own thread.

i have the demo installed but its lags horribly i set it at lowest res possible and lowest quality possible and in window mode and still horribly laggy. ?(with demo expander).

i have a 3.2 ghz CPU 1Gb ram and a ATI Radeon X1300 video card and windows vista. dont understand how a game with such ****ty graphics cant run on my comp.

anyone else have this problem?

 

[JEEVS]

i downloaded it again from filefront instead of gamershell. didnt make a difference

 

[JEEVS]

ok guys. i think i found something. its called the black screen or blank screen bug and it happens to alot of games including fear, doom, and elder scrolls. now maybe i can find a solution

 

[Wayne8Rooney]

Well, why do just a certain amount of people have it, if it's a bug for the whole game.

 

[Ansem]

I have to manually turn mine off too. I think I don't have enough free memory.

Memory space is not the problem, I have tons of space on my hardrive but I still get the black screen. Im almost positive the problem resides in my graphics card: nvidia gforce2 mx 200, but there should also be a way to by pass this bug. Ea games is realy pissing me off!!!!!
