View Full Version : NFSPU and Window XP Ramen 03-11-2002, 11:32 PM Does anybody know how to get NFSPU working under Window XP? I have so much problems running the game. Is there a patch or something outthere I can download? Please help if you know anything or have any solution about running NFSPU under Xp. Thanx. [XR]SUE52 03-12-2002, 02:34 AM Hi Ramen, I run PU under XP and apart from some connection problems. bouncing pings, the odd crash to desktop, and laggy displays it works wonderful!! (No it really is a brilliant game) Have you tried setting the properties for the main NFS game file to 98/ME compatible mode - worked for me, there are some other things to set like page file size and graphic card settings but I am not techie enough to advise you exactly what to do. I am sure some of the others here will help you out. Hope you get it fixed and you get to enjoy the true fun of racing online. Best wishes [XR]SUE Ramen 03-12-2002, 09:35 AM THan so much Sue for helping me out. How do I set the properties for the main NFS game file to 98/ME compatible mode ? [XR]SUE52 03-12-2002, 11:41 AM Right mouse click on the icon which starts the game up and select properties you should then see a tab called compatability, click on it and that is where you set the compatability mode you want. Good luck [XR]SUE Ramen 03-12-2002, 12:36 PM oH Thanx. But the problem is still not fixed. Whenever I click on the exe file to start the game, the porsche picture would pop put on the middle of the screen, and I would hear my cd rom running fast, but it just stay there..after 2 mins or so i would get a error msg saying "The driver is not ready for use; its door may be open. Please check drive F: and make sure that a disk is inserted and that the drive door is closed." .. I have the disc in there running and its not scratched or damaged in anyway. So yeah..do u know whats going on here? [XR]SUE52 03-12-2002, 09:24 PM Ramen, oh I am sorry you are having a problem still. I am out of my depth here but it does sound like your CDRom drive may be incompatible with the games copy protection. I notice you say drive F: did you install from this drive? Please can someone else with more knowledge try and help Ramen. [XR]SUE Ramen 03-12-2002, 10:01 PM yes drive F: is my cd-rom drive. I dont know why its not compatible though. It should, its a Creative 52x cd rom. Well anyway, I appreciate you for helping me out :) Thanx a lot. DC_Tox 03-18-2002, 02:30 AM Check This thread (http://www.racerplanet.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1016) and follow MATT's advices for virtual memory settings. It's the "most popular" reason for XP problems...:) Do you have an original CD? Be aware that home-made copies of PU don't work, it's copy protected. C U [XR]SUE52 03-18-2002, 03:32 AM Well done Corrado, I do so hope Ramen manages to get his PU working for him. Are you back on racing now Tox? I look forward to continuing "our" points battle and having some more of those good clean races with you. Best wishes Sue DC_Tox 03-18-2002, 08:45 AM Sue, yes I'm back online and last saturday night I had a great time on Auvergne back with Boris (DC_Fog), L.Q., Silicon, swifty.., and (memory fails...) I think also XR_Bolt (or Bug?). Later on also with [NO]Head and [NO]Lada. Great time and great racers. They "pulled me" enough to set a top 50 time with all cars on Auvergne/back...:D They had to wait sometimes...:") I would race tonight but I fear the yearly meeting with the house administrator will last until late... it usually ends at 1:00am :( Hope to meet you soon online, if you don't bring your "kickboxing" friend that you host in the avatar...:D Watch out for pit names with "Tox" in it. c u |
