Go to the game folder in Windows Explorer. Open locale.ini in Notepad and change the line RESOLUTION=1280x1024x32 to a lower resolution, eg 800x600x32

And change the line WIDESCREEN=1 to 0 if you don't have a widescreen monitor.

Save locale.ini and try the game again.

but were is exactly this folder pls? i just installed fifa 08. when i start the game it just shows a black screen. when i go to the task manager it shows that the cpu usage is 100%, but the minimum requirement is 1.3 Ghz and i have a cpu of 2.66 Ghz. Can anyone help pls? 10x

The folder is wherever you installed it. Right-click the FIFA08 shortcut to find the folder's location.

Which process is using 100%? Click the Processes tab in Task Manager and then click the CPU column title twice to bring the process to the top of the list.

discolover · 10-14-2007, 07:19 AM

fifa itself but i cant understand why because the game requires 1.3GHz and i have a 2.66 GHz cpu. By the way, in the task manager when i go to the applications tab, the status of fifa 08 shows 'not responding'. when i run fifa 08 i always run it alone i.e. no other programs would be running.

**koala** · 10-14-2007, 07:31 AM

Are you running the game with the CD inserted or using an image file on a virtual drive? Any cracks, patches or mods installed?

discolover · 10-14-2007, 07:34 AM

i am running it with the cd inside. i have a crack installed.

**koala** · 10-14-2007, 07:42 AM

Reinstall the game without any cracks. We can't offer any help for cracked or pirated software.

discolover · 10-14-2007, 07:51 AM

come on!!!!!!!! these days every body uses these things!!! my friend worked with the same crack

**koala** · 10-14-2007, 07:54 AM

Sorry, forum rules. I realise they are very common, but cracks bypass the program's security system, making them illegal. They often contain malware. And any advice we offer to fix a legit game may not work on a cracked exe so it's pointless.

discolover · 10-14-2007, 07:57 AM

so may i find another crack so that i can run it properly?

**koala** · 10-14-2007, 08:01 AM

We can't offer any help for cracked or pirated software. I'll move this to a new thread to avoid confusing the original poster with irrelevant replies.

discolover · 10-15-2007, 09:17 AM

ok but with what type of file i must open config.dat?

**koala** · 10-15-2007, 11:46 AM

Try Notepad. It might just be a text file.

discolover · 10-15-2007, 12:08 PM

i tried notepad. but i did not find any words like resolution and widescreen. so i couldn't change the resolution from 1280x1024x32 to 800x600x32. pls explain this in further details. thank you very much.

**koala** · 10-15-2007, 12:18 PM

For the third time, we can't offer any help for cracked or pirated software.
