I think Tammy is right on the money.  There is a corrupt registry where EA
stored card information.  Run regedit. Look here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\3D Data
Delete that and reinstall NHL2000.  It has the best 3D identification system
of the current games.  You may not have to reinstall all of them.  After
reinstall, run 3dsetup in each game 3dsetup folders or from the menu. Fifa
should show a couple of GeForce listings when you run 3dsetup[ -pick the
latter.
