Exclamation

I have read this problem before elsewhere!
I think you need to skip the "install DirectX" part and it works.
I did that the first time and have not had any problems since!!

Well either change the compatibility of the Setup file to windows 2000..


Or on the cd, you will see an autorun.inf file


If you copy the content of the cd to a folder, change the number on the directx line in the autorun.inf to 0

It should skip DirectX install.

The info is in other threads for this problem, obv you didnt bother to look 1st, explore cd and set install.exe to win 2000 mode thats simplist, i had same problem with demo and full game.

Lightbulb Solutions...

For setup issues, make sure that AutoRun.exe is set to Win2000 compatibility!
Create a shortcut on your desktop to AutoRun.exe on CD1... set the compatibility on the shortcut... Game should install!

Use latest WHQL drivers on a non-over clocked hardware (GPU)! If over clocked, then be sure to provide proper cooling 'cause this game is going to push the limits...

Also, on Hyper Threaded systems, the game's performance actually goes down... (Sad for me too!). So, use Windows NT Image Configuration Utility v4.0.1381.1… Will only work on NT based OS (Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Vista/Longhorn)

NOTE: This program has nothing to do with the game's Image... Image here means an application or more precisely, .exe & .com file that is supporting multiple processors...

In our case, we are talking about speed.exe! We need to patch it so it won't use multiple CPUs and believe me, it helps! No more choppy Movies + sudden hiccups during action...

ImageCFG:
Info Page + Download
Google Search term: imagecfg or imagecfg.exe

Code:
imagecfg.exe -a 0x1 "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Need for Speed Most Wanted\speed.exe"
Change the path accordingly...

No HT enabled Processor? No Multiprocessor? DON'T try it then!

There has to be an autorun.inf or the CD or DVD wont auto start.


There is a safemode_inst.exe I think thats a safe mode installer, sorta like if you have problems use this instead.
