HI,
I have been playing this game for 17 years on different computers and never had problems with the installation and activation. This is a new computer for this game (but not an actual new computer if it matters) and after mounting the 2 CS's the installation ended as usual. Here, I might did a mistake and before even trying to open the game, I tried (for the 1st time ever) to install a patch, by extracting the files and copying them to OriginDB folder in the installation folder and not the saves (because I didn't have any saves).
I changed the compatibility to Win XP SP3 (and the Win 7) and ran it as an admin, but I kept getting this error:
CODE BASE ERROR
Error#:-935
Error#:94001
Null Input Parameter unexpected

I uninstalled it, went to Regedit and looked for "EA sport" and "NBA LIVE" and removed whatever I could find. Restart, and installed again, but still the same thing. I went over the forums here and they mention that it might be related to modifications to the Appearance.dbf file, but I would assume that fresh installation fixed that. Even tried installing other update patches that may overwrite this file but nothing helps (tried a few patches).
Can someone help please? what can I do? BTW, I am using the same installation files for years and never encountered a problem with it.
This is the computer setup:
