RE: nfs carbon not playing in vista

drew,
i had the same exact problem with my computer. i am running vista home
premium. what i did is changed the compatibility to Windows 98/ME. i see
that u said you tried that. did u try exactly Windows 98/ME? It worked for me
and now i have no problem at all.

download no dvd patch from gamecopyworld for whichever version you are
using, follow instructions in downloaded file, and then run NFSC in (98/ME)
compatability mode, works in all versions
