This is a short and simple tutorial to show you, how to use the Glide-Wrapper for NFS:High Stakes, like this, you will be able to get resolutions higher than 640 x 480 in the menu and the original special effects.
First of all, we need the StockPack or the ExpansionPack. Get them here:

We will use the StockPack for this. After you downloaded the setup, double-click and run it. The setup will automatically configure the best settings for you PC, in case you already installed it uncheck everything and select the Glide-Wrapper, if you install this for the first time, just check the Glide-Wrapper, too:

After a successful installation of the StockPack, run the 3D-Setup of NFS 4 and select the Voodo entry:

Click "Ok". Now a warning will appear, just click "yes":

Now this window should appear:

Select "Application specific overrides:" , search for the NFS 4 entry and use these settings. Then your NFS:HS should have the same resolution all the time now, in my case 1280 x 960:
