That is a new one by me it is working on my system though I am using a Voodoo3. I do not know of any issues other than possible DirectX issues that may be causing your problem. You want want to reinstall the DX7 drivers on your system and see if that makes a difference.
You wont like what happens even when it will start to work however. When you go to try and start a season it still (even after 2 patches) says "hard drive is full" and goes no further. I have emailed three times and have yet to get ANY sort of reply from them. I suggest going to www.ea.com and sending an email stating your case.

And the worsest thing is, DONT USE DIRECT X8, NHL is incompatible with directx8 and with Win2k... ;-)
Fifa 2001 is the same s h i t, but you can even play one game before the game crashes ;-)

I play Nhl 2000 and it works no problem
and with the new directx 8.0 when first
starting the game it would sometimes
display a graphics error but when I tried
it a 2nd time it worked great. What I do have problem with is blowmans Nhl2000 editor (suppose to work for win98) At first it displays an error but when I persist and press cancel or attempt to exit the editor then it works I e-mailed the author of the editor if he could provide a patch to work more smoothly for win2k but he didn't seem
to provide much feed back in his reply since
he is using win98 so I was wondering if
someone knows of a workaround to launch it
more smoothly. I haven't bought Nhl2001 yet
but I don't see how different it could be
from 2000.

This game is irritating - are any of you guys actually managing to run seasons on Windows 2000?
Every time I try it gives me that error about Disk Drive Full. I have a 15g drive, I obviously have loads of free space.
Help!

The game itself runs like a dream aside from the ole "hard drive is full" message which prevents it from being what it should be. I did notice an improvement in the game since I installed Direct X 8.0
However I am starting to get the feeling that our hopes of having the season error fixed are in vain. They are already likely at work on NHL 2002 in in order to get it out in the right amount of time.

I found the program acompat in the support folder on the Windows 2000 disk which I think is what you were refeering to. However when I attempt to run the program it tells me that a debugger has been found and to unload it and try again.
I do not know of any on my system and have been looking to find any. Do you know what could be causing that and what to look for?

Hi Peejay,
I am not talking about Apcompat.exe. That one is for a very few number of apps. Wont runs games. Follow the link and download. Install it.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/compatibility/
Then go in Start Menu. Run QFixApps. Browse to the game you want to run. Then in the lower box, choose "Win95verLie" Click Run.
Secondly, if you want to run it again and again, you dont have to do all this again. simply click advanced then click "create attribe file...".Make sure Browse has the file you need and "Win95VerLie" is selected.
When it tells you the file is created. Go to C:\Winnt\AppPatch\ and run the reg file of the game. That is it! You can run the game from anywhere.
Write in the form if you have any questions.

Hi Peejay,
The link below refers to an unofficial fix. Extract exe to the game dir. Execute to patch
Hope this helps

Thanks for the effort but alas I tried that one a long time ago. I have been reading on a few other sites regarding the game ( www.nhl2001.com for example) that that patch only works with a few people. It gives me an error and then dies away not doing anything.
Just about the only hope now is to wait and see if EA will do anything about it but seeing as how they have ignored any emails sent regarding the topic I doubt it.

I ahve the same trouble but I think there is a way around it . If someone would e-mail a new season file somewhere then we can download it and instead of starting a new season Load the season that was created we might be able to play after all what do you think ???? You can reach me at federico@fnol.net ...
