Ya know, that is odd, because NFSMW works like a beauty on my Vista box.
Damn! I guess I am just going to have to wait for the next release of NFS Carbon! "km" wrote: man, I owe you big time.

NFS Carbon on RC2 B5744
How funny I was trying the same thing by going one by one on Compatibility modes and it worked for me as well. It also works on Windows 95 "ComptMode" / I don't know if its my computer but it certainly runs a little smoother when under Windows 95, instead of Windows 98 / ME ComptMode. Also disabling Desktop Composition might help it a little more. If you wish to obtain better FPS and you already tried all that above, then try to turn off the "Motion Blur" effect under your Video / Advanced configurations; Try not to go under Antisotropic 4X cause the game just looks bad. It is no use playing NFS:Carbon without max quality. For the PC refs, here is my system: 64 3200+ 2GB DDR 7900 GT 256MB Hope it helps a little more. And if you find more ways to make it work better please share and submit feedback to EA "ViPeRaY" wrote: your welcome. have fun. "Replay" wrote in message ...
