HS and windows 7

[1st genNFS fan]

can anyone tell what 3d setup would work for HS on windows 7 and how it would make it work on the new windows sysyem.I got a new alienware computer quad processors,home premium will upgrade to pro little later with xp mode but i seem unable to put in the new 3d setup for some reason.

The 3dSetups need administrative rights to change the right registry keys. That's why in the Stock Pack /Expansion Pack setups I added a 3DSetup.exe.manifest file. I think all will work with administrative rights.

I honestly don't think XP mode is your best bet -- it doesn't support DirectX or OpenGL. I think the emulated GPU is like an 8mb 2D graphics accelerator.

Assuming you want to keep Win7, you could just dual-boot with XP. I personally prefer XP, and though I'm running 32-bit on my 64 bit quad core, it works fine for HS.

It should work on Windows 7 though with the Expansion Pack. First of all, make sure when you install it that you check off the multicore patch (I needed it for my quad-core, chances are you will), the glide wrapper, win7 support, and HS Starter. When you start the game the first time, try software renderer. It should almost definitely work with software rendering. If it doesn't let me know...

If the game works okay with software rendering (probably really slow though), try either DirectX (full hardware acceleration) or Glide Wrapper. It might turn out that HS doesn't work well with your GPU, if that is the case, Glide Wrapper is quite good.

The new expansion pack will be soon out, it will have better windows 7 support

Oliver, oh really? The current EP fails to make HS loads on Win 7 64-bit. 09challenger,truepro,nfs4car, and me have noticed this issue. We tried following all of the recommended instruction.

I have win 7 32-bit, it works perfect, I am very satisfied, I know it has on win 7 64-bit big problems, we need to be optimistic

I was trying to do something in microsoft application compabiltiy administrator 64 bit version, you know program for running nfs2, I was experimenting something wtih nfs4, but not good results too many options, I can't choose which ones of hundreds of them

And when this will be solved, I also hope we will find the solution to convert and put Burnt Sienna and Transtropolis
