This is a fix that will allow you to run NBA Live 2004 PC in Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10.
Due to the deactivation of SECDRV.SYS in Windows 7, and its complete removal in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, it is now impossible to run older games such as NBA Live 2004, due to the copyright protection that requires that driver.
There are workarounds to reactivate SECDRV.SYS, but an easier solution is to use this fix to replace the game's executable, and bypass the outdated and
unsupported protection.
Please note that you will still need an original disc to install and run the game! We can't help you with a pirated copy.
Installation
1. Locate the folder you've installed NBA Live 2004 to.
2. Make a backup of the original nba2004.exe file if you wish.
3. Extract nba2004.exe to your NBA Live 2004 folder, overwriting the original.
4. Run the game using the new executable file.
