finally i got the game to run in my pc...my specs are not that high though...
Celeron 700mhz
128MB RAM
SIS 630 video card
Win ME
after i installed the game, i can't run it because of the nba2003.exe error and i tried re-installing it several times but still didn't work...i also tried updating the drivers of my video and sound card but still no luck...
but fortunately for me, i tried looking up at dxdiag and tried testing if my video card can run correctly in DirectX 8.1. Ii tried to test the DIRECT 3D and it tested the DIRECT 3D Device in DirectX 7 Interface but cause an error when it is tested on DirectX 8 interface...so i tried rebooting the pc and tried it again then to my suprise, the test for both DirectX 7 & 8 interface are successful! i tried running the game after that and got rid of the pesky "NBA2003.EXE ERROR"
sorry for the long message...i hope this advice would work for those people who's having the same problem as i did...goodluck!
