NEED For SPEED Most Wanted: Crashes to Desktop: Please Help

[eagle1]

Did you guys tried the No-CD crack as mentioned before?
Also, if you are playing and it crashes back to the desktop it could be a couple of things like
the video card drivers, card overheating or maybe even the video card settings.

Thanks man, I have figured out my problem. I was having rendering issues so i reinstalled the drivers w/ no antivirus on and i unistalled the old drivers, that took care of the rendering. I found out the crashes to the desktop were from ram problems, turns out i just bought a bad stick. I dont think i will buy Azen Ram again, its very generic. thanks for the info though. Peace

I have the following system Specs.:
---> AMD AthlonXP 64 3200+
---> ASUS A8N SLI-Premium
---> 1 x XFX-Geforce-6600-GT
---> 1GB ( 2 x 512MB ) DDR400 RAM
---> 2 x Maxtor 80GB SATA ( RAID 0 )
---> 1 x Samsung 80 GB
---> Windows XP SP2

I have got the latest driver for the graphics card as well as the motherboard. I also have the latest DirectX 9.0c. I even reinstalled my entire Windows, still it gives the same problem CTD every time I run NFS-MostWanted.



I installed the game on my friends machine with a lower pc configuration and it worked just fine. He don't even have the latest driver too.

I don't have any problem with any other game like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 and LockOn. All other games runs preety well.

Can anybody help me out and get the game running.

Regards,
Sapam

Hi! First i want to apologise for my grammatical errors but i have some problems with english because i'am portuguese
First time i installed the Demo of NFSMW, the game didn't worked, it simply crashed after the girl speak. I've updated the drivers and the game really worked well. Since the 6600 GT is a good card, not the best, but a good card i tried to put the settings to max! The game ran, but it crashed the computer minutes after. I've noticed it could be drivers, so in the system settings i've turned on the antialiasing to max. The game really played better but it crashed the computer minutes after when i changed to the rear view of the car (view behind the car - out of the car)
In resume if i turn off the antialising (in system settings and the game settings) the game runs without a problem at 1600x1200. So since you guys are having the similar problems with this game i suspect that the cause are the video drivers.
For those who may think that the problem is my card i just want to say that i run DOOM 3 with all settings on max and it runs perfectly.
Best regards,
Reinaldo

So did SAPAM ever fix the problem? I hate it when people don't return to the forum and provide an update after receiving good advice from members. What's the final? Where's the closure? It's like a season-ending cliff-hanger and they cancelled the show... AAAAHHHH!

i'm sorry, what was the question?

Hello all,
I sorted this by uninstalling the game and re-installing. The game wouldn't let me uninstall so I used System Mechanic 6 free trial at www.iolo.com it is in the "CLEAN" section which you get to from the main page.

when I re-installed all my settings were still there and my game saves.

Go for it

Phil

Hi,
I got the game running. I brought my friends DVD ROM Drive and install the game. VOLLA!!! it worked . Now I got a new DVD RW and it's working perfectly fine.
Thank you all for the valuable troubleshoots.

Thanks,
