I am trying to play NHL 2003 but when the game is about to start, the screen goes..."weird". I contacted EA Sports and they told me to upgrade my Video driver. My vid card is an ATI Rage 128 Ultra with driver version 4.13.7151. The updated version is 4.13.7192. When I run the installation of the new driver it tells me that this driver is not compatible with the display adapter (but it is!). I got the update from the ATI web site. If anybody can help me, I would really appreciate. Thanks Homer

is it PCI or AGP? make sure the driver is compatible to your operating system, maybe its not? that might be the problem. try removing the old driver from your computer and reinstall the new driver you just downloaded again. should work.

Homer, I don't think you have enough video memory to run NHL 2003. The minimum requirements indicate a 64MB video card, and I believe the ATI Rage 128 Ultra is only 16/32MB. If that is the case, whoever you called at EA is an idiot.
