Black screen issues may be fixed by trying the following:
Follow the path appropriate to your system.
Windows XP:
C:\Users\<User Name\App Data\
Vista and Windows 7:
C:\Users\<User Name>\App Data\Roaming
Once you can see inside those folders delete the Sports Interactive Folder.
If you can’t see those folders you will have to make “Hidden” files viewable.
For Vista and Windows 7:
In a window, go to 'Organize'->'Folder and Search Options'->'View'-> and select 'Show hidden files and folders'.
For XP:
Make sure you are able to see hidden folders:
When in a window, go to 'Tools'->'Folder Options'->'View'-> and make sure 'Show hidden files and folders' is selected.
Also some users have reported getting around the 'Black Screen' issue by creating a new account on their version of Windows and starting the game through this user. We suggest doing so if the above advice does not work for you.
