i can get the game to install and start but the video is crazy/mixed-up and the game is just unplayable.....what do i need to do to get this to work?
what info do you need from me about my computer?

i can tell you i'm running an athlon 1.8gig chip
with a nvidia geforce3 Ti 200 graphics card.

I'm in the process on trying to get Madden 2002 installed on my system and have the same prob that you had last year. What did you finally do?

i went out and bought madden 2003....a few of my friend had no trouble at all getting it (2002) to work on there systems.....last month i bought windows xp and tried to install it (2002) and it installed an worked fine....to tell you the truth i have no idea what was wrong with it...i would double check your viedo and sound drivers just to make sure they are up to date...i know this is not much help but good luck.
