Hello,

I wanted to play X-Games Pro Boarder again, which I bought long time ago.http://retailsupport.ea.com/corporate/pressreleases/eaespntv.html
Installation was ok. no problem here.
After starting the game, the program switched to fullscreen-mode, but then switched back to the windows-desktop giving me this DirectDraw-Message:
 
The official homepage of the game dowsn't exist anymore ( http://www.proboarder.com )
 
My Computer:
----------------------
Asus A7A266-E (newest BIOS and chipset-drivers)
AMD AthlonXP 1600+
512MB Ram
Ennough place on my harddisk
GF4-Ti 4200 incl. newest detonator-drivers (56.72)
Win2000 incl. ServicePack 4
DirectX 9.0b
 
After searching the web I only found "it works on win2k" (on this page) and this:

Quote:"This error sounds like a Video driver defect. The video card's device driver is not correctly managing access to the display buffer memory on the video card--this was a relatively common problem with some older Windows NT4 device drivers." 
Can you PLEASE help me? I love this game...
 
Thanks in advance

I have the same problem as you do, but sadly no solution. It is the best (not that there's many of them) snowboarding game for the PC. I just installed the game and got that message once, but afterwards it worked for me. I have Win XP Pro, so that might make a difference. Sorry, you can't get it to work, but I can't get my USB gamepad to work with it... EA just needs to release a new, great snowboarding game for the PC...
