Follow the steps below :-

1. Extract the game setup files from the setup file provided by DIGIT.
2. In the foler where u have extracted the files there would be a file named "setup.exe" of size 21.5 kb, Run this file.
3. Then the game is installed and you will have a shortcut on the desktop.
4. Use that to start the game n then let me know whether it works or not.

its true that Onboard gfx. sets are NOT Officially Supported by EA, but Codename_Romeo dude is running NFS C on his onboard.

Man i think we were wrong about Onboard + NFS C

but one thing i cant figure out is my cousin's PC (C2D [2.8ghz]+ 1GB DDR2 + ATi X200 onboard) cant run the DARN NFS Most Wanted smoothly @ more than 800x600 settings. if i go higher, i'm playing Most Wanted SlideShow with DELAYED Contorl Input (if i try to turn, the car will turn after 2-3 seconds).

btw NO Offence codename. its just i'm frustrated with my cousin's PC (payed 45K+ for that machine)

update your video drivers..... man i think thats where the problem lies.

 

[crystal_pup]

Hi all,
Hey guys just extract the contents to a folder...n then frm that folder run the autorun.exe file...It will ask u to install the game...it will also check for latest version of Direct x...NFS CARBON requires Direct X 9.0....I have successfully installed the game n its running fine...I have a nVIDIA graphics card...I own a COMPAQ T 6106 AU laptop...My frd owns a desktop PC...it got installed in his PC fine but the game crashes as soon as it starts...May b the game requires higher configurations or else a good graphics card to make it run properly without any errors.

Regards,
Kunal Dongre

What is ATI oR NVIDIA
Is "ATI oR NVIDIA" motherboards that has on board graphics and it that AMD ones.

as i mentioned above i want to know
if i change motherboard can i play game as some can play on onboard graphics

i can play NFS MOST Wanted on onboard graphics smoothly.
I have Integrated Intel Media Accelerator 900 in Intel 915GL chipset

 

[s18000rpm]

^^ welcome to the GMA900 club.
i'm sorry to say this but NFS C will no run (i'm 99% sure).

if you have PCI-e slots, then why not invest on a Gfx. card.

btw if you're going to get a new m/b then buy the one which has Intel GMA X3000 onboard. the latest onboard from Intel.

Intel onboard things wont help u with CARBON.
ATI OR NVIDIA only
__________
go in for a decent GPU rather than a new mobo.........
__________
U have a pci e slot.....tell your budget then we can suggest some goood graphics cards

 

[techno_funky]

well u are trying to play the full version or demo provided by digit?

If you are trying to play the demo provided by digit then after extraxting the files , run the setup.exe then play the game.
The error comes when you ry to play the game w/o installing it(by clicking on the carbon icon)
__________
And which onboard graphics card you have?
Carbon wont perform on a Video processing unit(intel graphics acc or something like that). But will perform on onboard graphics cards(like nvidia 6150/6100 or ati x200..... x200 supports sm 2.0 which is needed by carbon)

Yeps the demo ,extracted installed atleast 5-6 times still no go.

 

[codename_romeo]

@techno_funky

Asus P5LD2 VM SE has Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950.
This the motherboard you are having.

I have already posted the problem :

You have an intel accelarator, its not supported by Carbon.

If you have "INTEL" infront of the name of your Graphics accelarator then Carbon is not for you........You can run Most wanted smoothly but not CARBON.

WHAT IS GPU. Are u talking about graphics card if yes tell me the graphics card that can run NFS carbon and the card that cost the minimum/lowest.

Intel GMA X3000 onboard - How much this ,motherboard cost
which are the models supporting this . and which is the lowest cost motherboard.
also can i run NFS carbon smoothly on it .

i have not decided budget now .

 

[s18000rpm]

if you're going to UPGRADE your motherboard (not only to play NFS carbon), then go for the the Intel GMA 3000 based m/b.
(why i'm saying this is, nfs carbon is not a "I've to Play it, no matter how" kind of Game, trust me *smilies.sofrayt.com/1/b/smiley2k.gif ).

refer to this thread (read the later part), if you invest on this m/b, you can later upgrade/update it to DX10 compatible too.

this the Official list of the "Games that can be played on Intel GMA X3000"

NFS Carbon is not LISTED, but my guess would be, it can play it (not confirmed), as it has Hardware Transform and Lighting supported (T & L), which is a first on Intel GMA series.

cost-> Intel DG965WH for Rs.7300/- (as posted by @varkey in the same thread)

this ^^ is just a suggestion, so wait for other's replies about the GMA 3000.
