Have you realy make all this in order and right place??

If all it's maked clear, than try to use an older video driver like nvidia 80.82 if you have nvidia chip.

Yes, you need the no-CD/fixed EXE by DiNO-BYTES. The fixed EXE's only allow you to use a backup CD but you still need a CD as the game reads many files from there. With a no-CD, the files are searched for on the hard disk instead, that's why you have to copy them there manually.

I've just tested the game with this no-CD: it works, even with the very latest nVidia v180.46 drivers, although, for some cars (in some screen resolutions?), the RPM/speed gauges are missing from the HUD.
