I already tried EVERY-Single patch
From Spot patch to 3d patch 2.0 that aren't official
I updated my game, then applyed the patches agian ..
but the problem is my game starts up.. black screen and boots me back to desktop

Helpless.. Any help would be apprecieted :cry:

It could be XP. Did you run 3dsetup (in the game's folder) and switch from software rendering to direct3d?
If none of hte solutions in this thread help, then you're probably out of luck.

If the game just doesn't work after the patches, I guess you could try running it in compatibility mode. Have you tried using the Win2k NFS4 patch (it's on our utils page)

I have a 9700 pro aswell, and I've got my NFS installed on a FAT32 partition, and patch 4.44 - and it works fine! :?

Nope, only the high poly patch, but that doesn't affect the gfx, I think.
