Updated my system and reinstalled windows and then Madden. Received a url error during installation and game crashes when you hit Start. I have my original CD and Key.

Try reinstalling it.

Do you have a security service installed on the PC? IF you are also play g games on the PC and it is underpowered, it van also cause the PC to crash and then automatically re-start.

Hello,

Sorry to hear about your trouble. I own all of the Total War series and they are very great games. I will try to get you up and running so you can enjoy that classic!

I have heard of this error coming up due to corrupt game files. Meaning, you play a campaign and after 50 turns a certain saved game will be corrupted. The solution is to delete the game file, which would cause you to lose that play time but it will fix the error.

If you have not even started playing, then most likely there was an error during installation of the game. Try uninstalling the game, reboot the computer then reinstall the game.

Another possible issue is that your machine does not meet the system requirements to play the game, thus causing it to crash. Check and make sure your system meets the minimum system requirements.

Also, make sure your computer has updated drivers for the graphics card.

Lastly, if none of the above helps you, I would recommend contacting the support team for the game.

Can you uninstall it then reinstall it? That sometimes solves the problem with your apps. I do it all the time.

Try to delete the userdata files:

1. Open the command prompt by pressing Start and selecting the Run... option. (or if windows vista, windows button + R)
2. Type cmd and press the [Enter].
3. Type in rd /s "%APPDATA%\SecuROM" and press [Enter].
4. Answer Y to the Y/N question and press [Enter].

Usually this should do the trick.

Although, if this would not work, just make sure your firewall is not blocking the game to access to the internet.

And if this doesn't work, try disabling all your background applications on your system.

If this all does not work, I am sure you would be able to start it by reinstalling your whole Windows with the CD. But I don't think it's worth it, because you would lose all your other data on your computer!

reinstall your operating system, install all your drivers, make a ghost image to your computer and after that try installing the game.

A blue screen indicates an operating system error. Many times you can fix it by doing a system repair or reload, however, occasionally the blue screen is caused by a hard drive crash. To start you will need to run a system repair with your recovery or operating system disc. If the repair doesn't take, then try to totally reinstall the operating system. If you have any problems during or after the install then the hard drive has failed and will need replaced. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask.
