Well, this is annoying...

As a bit of a celebration after finding out that I am being kept on after the end of the holiday season (Did I forget to mention that earlier? Well, I am) I bought a clearance copy of EA Sports Madden NFL 2003.

I was going to learn the game, then create my own teams (The McMurdo Station Penguins, the Sylea Imperials, etc. and have fun playing out a season.)

Except the game keeps crashing. It installed just fine. Hell, it's one of the easier installs I've ever had. But when running, the game goes for about 2 minutes at most before it blinks off and I get a message saying the game had an internal error.. whatever that is.

I'm half-tempted to go price PS/2s on eBay and get one just to play this game. It looks great!

Any of the Lords of Geekdom have any clues?

Ah. Another person who knows the difference betwen PS/2 computers and PS2 game machines. :-)

Have you checked EA's Web site for patches?

Cool! Congratulations!

About the job...not the crashy game. :)

Hmmm...could be incompatible hardware. Corrupted drivers. See if EA has patches available. Some games have specific system requirements. Do you remember the error message?

No comment on the software, just a w00t! on the job news.

Good for you... I'm glad to see that things are looking a little bit better for ya'
