i recently had to hyper clean out my old HDD that has Carbon on it but in the process while moving my 19" CRT monitor, i dropped it dead on my CD. So right before i did cleaned my HDD out, i copied the entire Carbon root folder to my other unused HDD.

After putting Carbon back on the main HDD, i tried playing it and now a D3X9 type of error pops up. since i play other games that require DX9 like GTA san andreas, DX9 shouldnt be a problem right?

Please help me

If all you did was copy the program files directory in order to make a backup, you're probably missing certain registry entries. Unfortunately, the only way to successfully get them back is to reinstall the game.

do you have the latest DX9? you need a specific DX for nfs, after june 06 or something... it has some other files which previous DX did not have

get @ http://www.guru3d.com (or M$ of course)

you dont need reg keys to run the game, you might need them to be able to load your profile though...

Prince is right. Simply copying the files from Carbon folder will not work. All the necessary registry entries can only be recovered by reinstalling the game....from the cd/dvd, which I suppose is beyond hope in your case.

If it's a new installation of Windows, download and install the latest DirectX.
