Re: need for speed carbon

There are two ways that I know of that I used to fix that error on Need For Speed Carbon. Method One 1. Go to Google and search up, "Need For Speed Carbon". 2. Click on the first link. 3. Browse the website and try to find the latest patch for the game, which will make it compatible with Windows Vista. Method Two 1. Right click on the icon. 2. Click on Properties. 3. Select Compatibility. 4. Tick Run this program in compatibility mode, and select the OS. Hope that helped.

I've used ZoloEX's Method 2, it runs in Win98/ME compatability mode.

Re: need for speed carbon

Morning Carbon. You know, I play this game with Vista Ultimate 64 bit with
no problems. I don't need to go into compatibility mode. Have you tried
playing as Administrator?
