I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean by re-downloading from EA Link. I uninstalled it through Add/Remove programs and reinstalled it with EA Link without any change.
I was just thinking that the first time you got the game through EA Link, some files may have been corrupted in the transfer. Thus, unless you redownload them, any reinstallation will result in the same problems. Of course, if your download wasn't corrupted, this won't help matters. I tend to second Pescado. Now that you've paid for it anyway, you might as well have an actual backup image to use.

I had the same problem. I had no problem with hair downloads from XMS. The game wouldn't start when I added the director's cut hack. I tried 5 times to start the game, only it just gave me a blank black screen, and I had to use task manager to cancel it. Then I deleted some of the least needed hacks, and tried starting the game again, and it did. I place my cc and hacks in sub-folders in the download file. Just thought of sharing, not much of a help though. Maybe you could try putting your cc in sub-folders?
J. M. Pescado:
Well, it's not caused by the DC, because I have all that and more in my game, and it boots. Perhaps you have too many files, period, and that's what's hanging the works?
Ryslin:
Just an odd question, how long are you waiting before you cancel it from its "load lock"?
I ask this because of my own waiting issue on my system. I often have no idea that the game is loading, then eventually it comes up with the black screen, then some time after that I get the ea crap. Then all is smooth.
Here is other possibly unhelpful advice if my situation sounds similar?
Defrag
scan for spyware (adware, spybot)
kill other tasks (possibly even disabling the internet wile you play)
Again, just random thoughts about your situation, not sure if any of that might be helpful but worth a mention.
J. M. Pescado:
Also, how much crap do you have in your game? You should never install more CC than about half the amount of RAM you have in your system, to a max of about 1.5 GB.
