NFS High Stakes to run in Win2k its easy

[Sinster 0]

Run "APCOMPAT.EXE" you can get this file from the Win2k pro final release CD. Once you put that APCOMPAT.exe on your hdd run it select Win98 or Win95. under prgram to run select Autorun from your NFS HS CD. You are off and running.

 

Once you installed go to the registry and modify these lines

3d Card and 3d Device Description should read Direct3d Device 1

Group should be D3D

Trasher Driver should be d3d

Which part isn't working? Did it load? Don't use the "Setup" off the disc. Use the "Autorun" if you use setup you get errors.

 

I installed it as posted. But before I ran the game. I added the 4.44 patch then I used a no cd crack. The No CD I got from www.gamecopyworld.com. Its the one wich you need to install the game in full and add some files to.

 

I Haven't had a problem with mine. Been playing it for the past 2 weeks..

 

I would try empting your tmp folders. I got the same problem when I first tried to install it. I deleted my .tmp folders.. then I rebooted after that I it installed fine. If you look at your error Log it should state something about _INS456.

 

I have another person who installed the game but he is getting a patch error.

 

A friend of mine installed it just fine last night. Without incidents. Then we did the MP thang.

Have you rebooted? I didn't have have all the problems people are having. One get a error, about the patch. Some else can only play in SOftware. THis is how I did it

I installed NFS HS using APCOMPAT.exe, then I installed the patch then I install the no cd crack ran, then edited NFS HS registery for Direct3d then ran the game no problems..

 

I would try again.

I apologize. Maybe its not as easy as I thought. I had no trouble installing it, and neither did a friend of mine. I am sorry I couldn't help you.
