G'day all
After my previous post I then went and had a computer upgrade and also bought NFS Carbon. New system should play everything.
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L
Core 2 Duo 3Ghz cpu
Geforce 8600GT 512MB
4GB RAM, (though XP only reads 3.5GB)
Audigy 4 sound card
Sh!t hot sh!t hot sh!t hot yeah!!!
Anyhow, NFS Carbon began to crash also. I found somewhere on the net to run it in compatibility mode for Win98. It works!!! It never crashed after that. I've re-installed NFSMW but haven't yet played it. Hoping it will work for that too.
So there you have it, run the game in WIN98 compatibility mode.
Cheers
