game wont start when i press play
i been playing madden 04 for pc since it came out never any issues. i recently took a long break from the game maybe 6 months or so and today i got the itch to play again but when i press play nothing happens. it does not load up the game or anything. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it still does not open the game. i also tried going to the files and opening mainapp.exe but that doesnt load anything. i checked in task manager and i can see that the mainapp.exe appears in processes for a split second but then disappears. any suggestions? thanks in advance!

Re: game wont start when i press play
I just had the same issue and it was caused by recent Windows updates. I suggest you uninstall all recent updates and restrict them from automatically happening. I am now able to play no problem. I'm using Windows 7 BTW.

Re: game wont start when i press play
To provide some insight on this issue, there was a recent windows update that caused major problems with many old games. I forget which update it was, but Microsoft acknowledged it and offered a guide to uninstalling that specific update if you are a gamer. I can link it if people request it, but a quick Google search should do the trick.
