yes before you ask i have googled need for speed most wanted installation difficulties.

ok basically i have an iso of NFS Most Wanted.

I can't install it because

a) Gives me some weird DirectX Error
I've tried to fix it by editing autorun.cfg and compatibility mode of AutoRun.exe to 2000 as necessary, then remaking the ISO, which leads to

b) Please Insert CD/DVD error
which I have no idea how to get past.

i.e I've basically used up all available solutions I can find on the net.

the amount of time it took you to make this blog and then reply to his post exceeds the time it would have taken to reboot in safe mode to install the game

I'm sure it would be easier to run if you actually owned the game. :-D

What kind of DirectX error are you encountering?

Also editing files then re-burning the CD would sure tamper with its "signature" hence the "insert cd/dvd" error.

Find the autorun.exe within the iso and run in compatability mode windows 2000 to get past the directx error- that is if you have 9.0c installed (or if you have vista you probably have directx 10)

For the cd/dvd problem search for a nocd crack they are not hard to find
Hell is other people.

I enjoyed the game enough to be persistent in helping, the only other solution i found offered was this (straight copy paste off thepiratebay):

You need to do the following:1. After you mount the game image, copy all the files to you hard drive in one folder for example NFSMW.2. Open the \NFSMW\Autorun folder..and then open the file autorun.cfg with Notepad.3. Look for the parameter DirectXVersion=9.0c and change the 9.0c to 0 and save the file.4. Run the Setup from your hard drive folder and ENJOY!!

ah

finally i figured out a solution

extract the compressed data zip folders into a folder, then grab a speed.exe no-cd from a website and chuck it into that folder.

voila.

ez.
