Ati radeon 128mb problem?

Hi All,

I have a strange bug with nhl2003.
I get through the "in the game" part fine..

But when i get to the first menu, i don't see any options, just 2 teams on the top menu. All the other menus are blank?
Lots of yellow stripes with no text.
I manage to find a icon to click and try and start the game.
(side select or hereos not sure) screen for a second then crash back to desktop...
my specs:
350 mhz P2
278 mb ram
Ati Radeon 8500 128 mb card
Driver Build 4.13.01.9039
7.72-020524M-004273C
Posted June 13, 2002
win 98-2
windows media player 6.4
also have IE 6 sp1 installed

I ran the demo with no problems...
Any help would be AWESOME, I need to play this Game...
Any other people play with Radeon 8500 128mb?
thanks Tikk

Yah i think your CPU is the bottleneck in your system.A card like the 8500 needs a fast cpu to run properly and run at it's full potential.You have a great card,Lors of ram etc... I think you might need a better Mobo and CPU but that's just me.

If you haven't seen this already, here's the link to the Radeon 128mb fix. It worked for me!
