Bought this this evening and am currently trying to make it work in Vista but no luck yet.

I installed the 1.4 patch and have tried running it in XP compatibility mode and as administrator, but I'm just being told I haven't inserted the correct DVD-ROM and that the disc can't be located. Does anyone know how to get round this?
 
this game is pre vista and it may just 'not work', happened to me with BIA - earned in blood, couldnt get the bugger to play even after patching and fannying with compatibility modes
 
I must be doing something obviously wrong. Double clicked and ran the patch, then I'm extracting the crack to the desktop and running it... but it just keeps crashing.
 
You need to copy the cracked .exe file to the directory where you installed the game, and replace the original .exe with the cracked .exe file, then double click to run it :)
 
Does the op have a nvidia chipset based motherboard ? If so then it's the software IDE driver causing this, had this problem with Carbon when I had a nvidia nf4 chipset system.
 
OK, I've now replaced the exe file in the NFSC directory and it starts to load, the EA logo comes up but then it just crashes to the desktop again with this box:

Can anyone suggest anything else?
