I'm on 81.85 WHQL, will install 81.95 and try but I doubt its a driver issue, cause the game isn't hanging or anything, just the text has disappered...
Also, its the original PC version so no chance of the game being corrupted.
I may have read about other people having the same issues with fifa.
Stick to the pes/we series, much better games and they don't scatter files all over your hdd. The entire game uses just some 5-6 dat files from a single folder for content and one seperate dat for all your settings - totally clean install.
did you uninstall some other game, this used to happen for me when msxml parser was not installed properly in some age series.check if msxml 4.0 is installed, reinstall msxml parser, d/l from microsoft. not sure if this is applicable to ur problem.
