NFS Most Wanted (Setup Problem)

[freeman32]

Hello veiled I have the original French version of NFS Most Wanted and when I wants to just install it after having typed the key CD they put to me that the directx 9 is necessary whereas I have Windows xp sp2, and when I try to install the directx 9 it is said to me that that is not necessary. What do I have to make to cure that? Thank you. Sorry for my english.

For all People with the same Problem , here is the Solution :

To get this Directx Error to vanish you have to open the Root Directory of your NFS: MW CD/DVD, then search the autorun.exe, right click it and click on Properties, go to the 3.rd Area " Compatibility" , fill the box which says "Run this Programm in Compatibility mode for:"
And then select "Windows 2000", click ok.

Now the Direct-X Error is gone.

If you are one of the luck-less humans out there and still get this error, there's another way for you guys :


You need to do the following:

1. After you mount the game image, copy all the files to you hard drive in one folder for example NFSMW.

2. Open the \NFSMW\Autorun folder..and then open the file autorun.cfg with Notepad.

3. Look for the parameter DirectXVersion=9.0c and change the 9.0c to 0 and save the file.

4. Run the Setup from your hard drive folder and ENJOY!!
