Yeah, but it's not always practical for all people to reinstall Windows everytime something goes wrong.

I have all updates and I am not going to reinstall Windows since my computer is running perfectly.

I submitted my question to EA and they should be getting back to me soon. Here's the picture I submitted along with my detailed form to further clarify.

Here's what it looks like.

I got NFSC setup, started a career and got a BSOD when trying to load the "first" (After the M3 v. C6R) race. I sometimes got a glimpse on the starting (the drifting), and got a BSOD instantly!

Error code: 0x0000007f (0x0000000d, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

My Spec (I know this is very very outdated, but it runs great with NFSMW):
Intel Celeron 1.0G (256k cache)
512MB Kingston PC-133 (running at 100MHz)
SB PCI128
(The above are ~3 years old)
Maxtor harddrives (160GB + 40GB)
GeForce 6200A (AGP) <-- This is the "newest" thing in the PC
I get the exact error code, though on other games. And I happen to have the same sound card. That gets me thinking, it's the soundcard drivers at fault. Even though for some reason I always get nv4_disp.dll as the fault after debugging.
What is your PSU rating? Someone mentioned at some other forum that the PC might not be getting enough power too.

Well EA gave me the same answer that other sites have. And it doesn't work. :roll:

So anyway I got around the problem and can actually play the game now by finding my own solution.

Step 1: Install it on the computer of someone you know. In my case I installed it on my bro's computer.
Step 2: After install browese to the folder that the game is installed (C:\Games\Need for Speed Carbon) and right click the folder and select Send To -> Compressed (zipped) folder.
Step 3: Once it has finished grab a DVD RW and burn the zip file onto the disk.
Step 4: Remove NFSC from other computer and delete the zip file.
Step 5: Extract all files into the folder where you place all games. (extract to C:\Games)
Step 6: Create a shortcut to the game on the desktop and enjoy NFSC.

That sounds like your anti-virus, anti-spyware or other such program is interfering with the installation. Try turning them off first.

Yes i use no-cd, i tried the original exe but now dos-box stays on for a while and then closes, and it´s still 1.2. I also turned windows firewall off, didn´t help

hey guys, i don't experience any glitches playing NFSC on my pc (P4 2.0, ATi radeon 9600) except for the videos doesn't play at all. certain videos like when cross starts to chase you in the beginning of the game (i think he says "guess who's back") didn't play at all. it jumps straight to the race escape from cross.

The normal BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death).

Basically means some part of your system (software or hardware) isn't working the right way. I suggest a fresh install of DirectX and all drivers, especially processor and graphic card drivers.

Reputated it sounds like you have shaders set to low in the game's video options. Try turning them to medium or high and see if that makes a difference.
