Wouldn't you know it?

I just bought NFS:Carbon and well the pic is pretty self explanatory. Vista issues? I get past the EA logo splash screen and then it crashes to desktop. I would defer anything with overheating....

Thanks

I don't see a pic.

Yeah it's probably a vista driver issue. Are you all updated, sound as well?

yeah, everything is up to date....

Let me try patching the game....

Well the patch doesn't work....GREAT!!

I tried running in Compatibility mode for XP SP2 and it says insert the correct DVD-ROM, and this is b/c XP doesn't natively support SATA optical drives.

Apparently it's a common issue.

Last two comments have the same problem, the last guy says that it's pretty common. Try searching the Ea forums for a solution.. If one exists.

NFS games have a tendancy to mess up during installation and during uninstallation.

google it and you can find the answer, To uninstall mine I had to use renegit or wtv it's called to get into the registry and find it.

I have high-end stuff and Carbon won't work, this is retarded, EA has provided horrible support for it... Now programs don't recognize my SATA drives.... What else? Just bring it on.....

I knew I should've went IDE....

Thx
