Nfs Porsche Unleashed Xp Fix Patch

by

At first I thought the Catalyst 4.7 drivers were to blame, but going back to the drivers that shipped with XP did not help. I upgraded to the Catalyst 4.8 drivers today and still no change at all. The only other change I can think of is that I've upgraded to XP service pack 2 (clean install, slipstreamed). Anyway here is the problem; when I run the game and try to select from the drop down menus (game difficulty, choosing car or track, etc) an empty drop down box appears. I can still select stuff but I just can't see what I'm selecting.

Then when I try to play it loads the track and then crashes back to the desktop. I've reinstalled the game, made sure it's patched, nothing helps.

Mar 16, 2015 - This Unlocks CPU's faster than 2 GHZ -> ONLY in Windows XP. Updating Need For Speed: Porsche Unleashed to version 3.5. Before trying. If you are using Windows XP, you must also install the NFS PU XP Fix - Download.

It worked fine before SP2 so I'm thinking that must be the cause. Has anyone tried this game with SP2, or know of any way to fix the above problem? Thanks in advance ATI Radeon 8500 Catalyst 4.8 Drivers Windows XP Home SP2. If you mean it hangs at the loading screen and fills up your entire hard drive with a swap file that can be fixed by deleting the file gimme.dll (appropriate name) in the main game directory. The game will load up and work fine after that.

Now if I could just figure out what is causing the menu problem and crashing. I thought it might be the updated firewall so I temporarily disabled all of the security stuff to check; unfortunately it didn't change anything. The only other thing I can think of is that maybe DirectX 9.0c is causing the trouble. I don't know why it would but I'm going to try it on a different machine later with and without the new DirectX version. Electronic Arts really do a great job supporting their games by the way. Thanks a lot EA!:crazy.

1) Download the Microsoft Application Compatibility Tool. Go to or directy to the link: 2) Install ACT. 3) Load up the Compatibility Administration Tool from the Programs menu.

Click 'Next'. 6) Under 'Operating System Modes', select 'Windows 2000'. 'Win98/Me' might also work, but I haven't needed to try it. Click 'Next'. 7) Out of the 130-or-so compatibility options, enable 'EmulateHeap' and 'HeapPadAllocation'. Click 'Next'.

8) This should bring you to the end of the wizard. Click 'Finish'. 9) Now you'll have an application compatibility patch. However, ACT will discard your new patch unless you install it into the system registry. To do this, go to the 'File' menu and click 'Install'. 10) Every time you run Porsche.exe, it should now manage memory correctly.

You will now also be able to download the 3.5 patch from within the game itself, and have full multiplayer capabilities. I have never had a problem since then!:D As for the Catalyst issue, I have no idea since i dont use them. The game isn't that old, and besides that the problems first started showing up at least 2 years ago. Should they have not fixed it then at least? What about Need For Speed III and IV? When newer video cards came out and the 3DSetup program didn't recognize them, you had to use hacks and workarounds to get them to work properly in D3D mode. I don't think supporting a game a year or two after it's release counts as 'forever'.

They could at least make an effort. Dio, thanks but that didn't work either. It loads up fine but the menus are still missing. Remember this problem is not the same one people have been having running it in XP all this time. I already found a fix for that a long time ago and have been playing it all this time in XP with no trouble at all.

It was not until I installed SP2 that my drop down menus became blank and the game crashed to the desktop when loading a track. Id works datacard serial number crack keygen. I blamed ATI and their new drivers at first but after trying some older drivers I found they weren't causing it.

Maybe it's not SP2 either if QDave is running it with no problems. I also found an old post about blank menus on Google Groups from a year ago but there was no solution posted. N@t5, I tried the application compatibility toolkit but so far it hasn't helped (though I was able to use it to fix the free disk space problem in High Stakes). I'll keep playing around with it though and trying different options.

Thanks again for all the suggestions. Edit: I just installed the game on a friend's computer which also has XP SP2 installed. The game ran perfectly on it, no patches or tweaks required. This computer is very similar to mine except it has a Kyro II video card.
