Need for Speed 3 (Win2K)

Does anyone know how to get NFS3 working under Windows 2000 SP2?

 

NTCompatible gives a file to download that patches the installer, but it doesn't work because my NFS3.exe and setup.ins are the wrong size (presumably it's for the US version only). Another site said run it in compatiblity mode, but that won't get the installer to work.

 

Any ideas?

It should install and run fine. Have you downloaded the Application Compatibility Update from Windows update?

The Application Compatibility Update.

 

If you mean this, then yes. No help.

 

I also downloaded Application Compatibility Toolkit 1.5 and Microsoft Windows XP Application Compatibility Toolkit 2.0. The later didn't install - must be XP only. The 1.5 version did, but it didn't help.

You must use QFixApp to create a fix file for your game (from ACT 1.5) Also, leave QFixApp _running_ while you launch and play your game, or the compatibility file won't work.

How do I use QFixApp?

 

I loaded it up and selected the install program that fails. It still failed after running it from QFixApp, although I really don't know what I'm doing in the program.
