NHL 09 to work after installing any addons involving rosters. Just like
windows seven, you have to disable the UAC. Here is the problem, if you
simply move the slider down in windows 8 or 10, it will not completely
disable it. so before you do this, download everything because you
might lose internet when you edit the registry. The only way I have
found that works was from a french member of this site. He edited the
registry but his post was in a different language. To get into the
registry from windows 8, simply search for "regedit". Windows 10 has a
search bar on the standard desktop toolbar and you can type in
"regedit" and run the program. go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr
entVersion\Policies\System. double click EnableLUA. Put a 0 on for the
value. restart the machine. run the addon updates like normal. go back
and change the value back to 1 and restart your machine after you
verify that the game starts without crashing. It worked for me. I now
have it running well on two machines with updated rosters and windows
10. Hope this helps.
