Need for Speed: Most Wanted Issue

Hi guys! I have a very strange issue here... No matter how I try to install the game (original CDs, Alcohol 120% 4x images), I just can't seem to get past the damn license agreement screen right after the CD-Key screen… The license screen is simply blank with no text and as soon as I press Yes (or Agree), a message appears saying I should update to DirectX 9c and okay and desktop… I have been on DX9c ever since it was a private beta and all other latest games like Gun, X3 are running 100%!! Want to hear something even more strangely? I installed and played the demo perfectly + NFS: MW was working flawlessly just a nights ago… I had a bad system crash and I just recovered (no loss, same settings) and NFS: MW no longer installs… playing is too far! It’s not the Black Edition… it’s the original simple 4 CD edition and my DVD-ROM reads perfectly so no read errors either… Also, Civilization IV crashes often on my machine and when it does, it leaves a mess of my video hardware… all access to D3D is lost and the DirectX sub-system is unusable for any other 3d application… I remember that Civ4 crashed that night and I forgot to reboot (to restore the D3D system) and started NFS: MW it worked then the chaos started and BSoD appeared and son and so on… However, I don’t know what all of this has to do with installation system? I’m not going to format because of one game and I was in a good mood hat I’ll burn rubber all night but now I’m really pissed at myself, my system and NFS: MP (most pissed) … Me going to bed and tomorrow I’ll check on another system… If anyone knows about this, please leave a post or two… Take Care!

... just before hitting the sack, I tried one last thing: Set compatibility on AutoRun.exe to Win 2000... EVERYTHING WORKS NOW!! My sytem is great and so am I... so now only little pissed at EA for making such problem after years of experience... Thanks for reading and issue solved!
