Running on Xp and Vista

[DaveGC]

It worked fine on XP before but now it won't....tried on Vista same result.

Here's what it gives me

NBA live Exception Handler Error:
unhandled exception oxc000065 occured at address ox6006c328
stack trace unavailable.


Any1 got any solutions? Only change I did to my nba live folder was to install the latest roster

[Spree#8]

Uninstall it then and see if that will help.

[DaveGC]

Any1 else with a better idea?

I don't think that's the problem...I've always been able to run it while updating the roster with alexboom's.

David,

You may need a new, scratch-free CD version of the game. If available, attempt to install your current disk on a desktop equipped with Live 2000 or ME or one of the other archaic operating systems ('95, '98). If, post-installation, you receive a similar error message ("unhandled exception"/"stack trace"), purchase a clean copy of 2000 and install on your operating system of choice; you should be able to find a packaged version of the game at amazon.com or such a web-based retailer. In past years, and on at least two separate occassions, purchasing and installing a new copy of the game has solved this problem for me. Good luck . . .

Reinstalling doesn't help for me either. I had Windows XP Pro pre-SP1 before, and it worked on that OS. I've only recently installed it again on Vista Ultimate SP1, but none of the compatibility options seem to make it work.

I don't think I'm going to try and dual boot an older OS just to test one game. Are there any other fixes?

Symptom(s):
NBA Live 2000* game crashes after introductory movie sequence Error: "NBA Live Exception Handler : Unhandled Exception 0xC0000005 occurred at address 0x6000C328 stack trace unavailable".

Cause:
The game appears to limit the total number of texture formats. An error occurs when using graphics controllers/adapters which exceed the game's forced limit.

Solution:
Intel is not aware of a fix or workaround for this issue. Contact the game manufacturer for further updates, patches, or support.

That's what I found... that's from intel's side... I've got the same problem and it's all because we've got noINTELingent graphic card:/ and there is nothing we can do about it...

Use Software rendering instead of Hardware.

0xC000065 seems to be a problem with Ref Referee in the .dbf's. The error occurs when loading up a game, the players all load okay (indicated in the NBATEMP temporary drawer) and the last file part reported accessed in the dump is a referee part. I used the Ref Referee's from the original file and it works. The referee part of the .dbf are those with the team number 38.

Better late than never. (I thought I was responding to a thread from 2002, didn't realize how recent this was.)

hello guys

i have been looking for my old nba live 2000 game for a while, and today i finally found it. happy and nostalgic about the whole thing, i put the old (little dusty) cd in my pc and start installing. then when i wanted to play the game, i got the 'Unhandled Exception 0xC0000005 occurred at address 0x6000C328 stack trace unavailable". problem like others on this thread have mentioned already.

my pc is from 2004 with windows xp, so it's well up for a game like nba live2000

i looked around on this forum for tips, there was one other post that said you should try changing the compitability in the nba live folder to windows 2000 (i searched for it, and mine was set on windows 95)

but that still didn't work. i then tried to uninstall and then re-install the game, but what happens now is after 9% of installing the game, i get a message saying 'error copying files' and then everything just closes down.

so is there still no solution to this issue? i never thought it would be so difficult to play an old game...jeez

[Pdub]

The CD may be too scratched to be read. Your installation may have been corrupted the first time and that may be why it was getting the exception.

[lullemans72]

The CD may be too scratched to be read. Your installation may have been corrupted the first time and that may be why it was getting the exception.

well, the cd is a little scratched, but not that much. i don't think the installation got corrupted the first time since it got installed without any problem (although now it freezes at 9% already). the exception notice came when the intro image with all the legend players popped up... i really do wonder if it's the cd that's to blame, and not the pc or the operating system though...

[lullemans72]

just to update you on this, now ive been able to re-install it again afterall, and i don't get that stack trace unavailable thing anymore. now it just says insert correct CD and try again

[shadowgrin]

I can only think of two things. The CD really is scratched or yarrr mateys...

[lullemans72]

I can only think of two things. The CD really is scratched or yarrr mateys...

thanks for your quick posts guys, guess what, it finally works! yes! i tried to re-install it again, and luckily it didnt stop in midway.
however it did say 'pls insert the correct cd and try again'. i then tried to fumble a little with the compitabilities
by setting it to windows 2000, and it worked.

but i think i have some video problems still. the intro vid looks kinda weird.
the graphics themselves, ouch. maybe its due to the fact that the game is 9 years old now and that i've been used to much better graphics now, but still, the players look pretty awful.

[shadowgrin]

Yes they do. Especially if the video mode is in software rendering.

[lullemans72]

Yes they do. Especially if the video mode is in software rendering.

i just tried to change the software rendering in the setup mode to rv380, but as soon as i did that,
i get the 'stack trace unavailable' thing again.

does this mean i have to choose between either playing with crappy graphics or not playing at all?

[Andrew]

It would seem so, unless it's a driver issue in which case updating or rolling back might do the trick.

[dwayne2005]

There are a few menu and game loading screen glitches, but I find it otherwise plays fine. Win 98 compatibility also in my experience is a definite no-no with this game. On my PC, it slows the game down to a crawl, and I've read I'm not alone. IMO, it's about time Windows built the core o/s binaries into the compatibility feature not whatever the hell they use. As for the 0x0000...C error, I seem to remember getting this one, but can't remember what I done. All mine though I think are from customization and not original files.

I had this problem and I solved it.

I can play NBA Live 2000 on Windows Vista Home Basic

1. Install this: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... F707D7A2E9
2. Set compatibility with Windows 2000 (with Windows 98 or XP doesn't work).
3. Set software render.

Play

Good to know. I'll go ahead and sticky this thread so we've got the solution handy.

[xaxa]

[Murat]

May be. It will work if you use the compatibility.

[xaxa]

i have xp sp3 italian, and i have my backup copy of nba live 2000 italian too.
i remember than in 2000 i played on windows ME with this game, and it works.
the cd is ok, the installation is ok, all the files are copyed on the hd but when i try to launch the .exe file it doesn't happen anything.
i tryed to use compatibility mode with 95-98-2000-nt option, but the result is the same.
if i use 256 color option or 640x480 option, colors or pixels of my screen changing and after 2-3 seconds they return normal.
but the game don't start. both in software rendering or 3d card mode.

i tryed to install nba live 2000 under win 2000, win 98 and win xp no sp into virtualbox but the result is ever the same.
i used the safedisc but it has not been a solution.

help me please.

thanks

[Murat]

Which version? Home Edition or Professional? Or use Win98 if you can find.

[joejam999]

Just installed windows 7 Pro 32 bit and was having this same issue. Give this a try it worked for me No more ugly render mode

Well, i have Nba live 2000 installed on my laptop and i had the same problem as many of other users. I was able to play live only with software settings, but today i discovered a new way to play live 2000 in 3d settings without any crashing.

So do this:

1. Download NBA LIVE 2001 demo and install it to your computer!
2. Find dx7z.dll in the NBA LIVE 2001 main folder, rename it to dx6z.dll and copy-paste it to your NBA LIVE 2000/3rash folder overwriting the old dx6z.dll
3. Change NBA LIVE 2000 settings from software to your D3D Device (there is a folder setup in your nba live 2000 main directory, so open the 3dsetup.exe in that folder and change your settings)

That`s all.. Good luck playing! (sorry for my poor english )

[Murat]

Hi.
When I was playing Live 2001, there is a bug. Until in-game, there are no problems. But in-game you can see only jerseys and the rim. Otherwise is black. At 1v1, you can see only jerseys. Otherwise is black.

Anyone help?

[mikogoincyco93]

Is it possible to run NBA Live 2000 or 2001 on Windows Vista? Everytime I try to run Live 2001 on vista I get wierd colors on the necks of the players and the courts have these lines on them. I tried running it with compatibility to Windows 2000 and I get the same reaction

[Andrew]

Have you tried using Software Rendering rather than Hardware Rendering? Seems to do the trick for some people.

[Murat]

I dont have this, it writes only my graphic card "NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT (D3D)"

[Andrew]

Ah, that's right; 2001 doesn't have that option. Have you tried that solution joejam999 posted?

[Murat]

I dont have Live 2000!

[Andrew]

I realise that. Try it with NBA Live 2001, might as well try all the posted solutions.

[Pdub]

Have you ran the 3DSetup? I just downloaded the demo and it worked fine. Try editing that 3dsetup.ini file. Maybe change the 3Dfx optinos to 0 and change Hide Resolutions to 0. You could also try compatibility mode for an older version of Windows.

[Murat]

I tried all the ways. So I believe that I can work with XP, only.

[Bob Yordan]

Just some notes, if someone runs into the same problem in the future.

I managed to make NBA Live 2000 run on my old 3,2 Ghz PC with Radeon 9200 series graphic card (Benq M2700HD monitor).
The program was installed and is running on Virtual CD 6. Cause the built in Cd player is crap on that PC, but the CD is
bought and no cracked version.

dxdiag.exe (microsoft tool) was helpful and selecting software render via the Easport 3D configuration tool inside the setup dir
in the Nba Live 2000 folder. I dont run it in Win2000 mode.

Radeon 9200 has some issue with 3D rendering so selecting (Hw rendering) resulted in a kernel32.dll error when starting
the program. Have not managed to solved that issue yet, even though I did spend 5-6 hours with google to find solutions
and driver updates yesterday. Soft rendering + DirectX of a later version than on the game cd looks okay.

So now my old fantasy (1000 teams, 9 players per team) database is up and running again, after the old PC crashed a couple of
years ago. But it has not been updated since 2005, so I have some upgrading to do with new players.

[Andrew]

Appreciate the info Bob.

[Zapp]

Edit: Fixed the below problem now, I followed steps 1 & 3 here and the game is working fine now.

I can run NBA Live 2000 in Windows 2000 compatibility mode on XP but can't select higher texture graphics, those options are grayed out when I go to 'details'. I also have to choose Software render instead of the PC's graphics card which is ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Series. Is there a way to run the game so I can get higher resolution graphics as I can with NBA Live 2001 but there's more updates etc. for 2000, so I'd like to be able to play NBA 2000 with better graphics.

[xpoing]

Find dx7z.dll in the NBA LIVE 2001 main folder, rename it to dx6z.dll and copy-paste it to your NBA LIVE 2000/3rash folder overwriting the old dx6z.dll

this will help.

Man I love you !!!!


YEAH now it is hardware rendering and back to the best quality again.

Thanx a billion.

[xpoing]

you're wellcome

[Bob Yordan]

I had some issue with the game freezing frequently, sometimes more often, with
the Radeon series video card (Hw rendering). Everytime I had to restart the program.

Then I discovered the resultion/video settings inside the program.

Switched to a higher resolution + checked the tripple buffer.

And now the freezing seems to almost disapear, touch wood.

Still get some blue screens from time to time though.

[chrishamaker]

Okay guys I need help. I recently purchased a brand new copy of NBA Live 2000. Installed it on my laptop which has Windows Vista. Played with the compatability a little bit. When I go to play the beginning screen with the six players pops up and then disappears and a message that says NBA Live 2000 Executable has stopped working. Can anyone tell me what I need to do?

[Andrew]

Have you tried any of the other solutions mentioned above?

[chrishamaker]

I have tried all

[Bob Yordan]

Have you tried tweaking the details + screen setting to a minimum?

When the game crashes when it starts to play, it might be something with
the graphic driver or configuration error for the teams.

Try softrendering also to see if that works?

In the game shortcut, I have set so that it shall execute in full screen and Win2000
compatible mood.

----------------------------

Also I got a crash or perhaps a hanging in the game once, that forced me to reboot
the PC. After that it complained the the game itself was bad. Then I had to
uninstall it + delete the nba2000 folder, after I copied parts of the database and
then install it into a new folder before it worked again.

[chrishamaker]

What can I do about the graphic driver or configuration error?

[Bob Yordan]

Hi

You can try to download the latest graphic driver.

Also upgrade the DirectX.

Have you run the 3D utility that comes with the game? Where you set the Hardware/software rendering.

Do the lap top meet the minium requirements for running nba 2000 live?

I guess you have to check on the web if someone with the same kind of Laptop & OS have had problems
with other games crashing when they are starting up the graphics and if they found a way to solve it.

If you just use the original game database, that is originally installed with the game, then it is probably
not a configuration error.

Windows Vista is a virus in itself, IMHO.

[chrishamaker]

I agree. One last question where would I locate the 3D utility to run it?
