Windows 7 issue

well, i just got a new computer. but when i click drive, the game shuts down. how do i fix this?

I've had the same problem. There's a number of potential fixes, make sure your drivers are updates and disable DEP among them. I've never actually fixed it myself but I know of people that have.

how do i disable the DEP?

Open the command line: “Start” -> enter “cmd.exe” into search field and hit enter.

Simply run the following command to disable it:

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff
You can enable it again with:

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOn

Attention!

If you run this command and you are not able to start Windows, then run Windows in safemode and enable it again, using the command above. Start Windows in safemode by pressing F8 during bootup.

This works for some people I've been told, but not me.

Have you tried running it as an administrator? If not try doing that.

That reminds me, try compatibility mode. Again, didn't work for me, but worth a shot.

none of it worked...

How did you install it?

i installed it normally, didn't have any issues...

the cd key was...

Blue thunder fan, I would highly recommend you PM people that instead of flat out giving away a cd-key. I think it's against the rules along the lines of illegal downloads/torrenting software.

Try opening it in Program Files or whatever the equivalent is in W7?

I think you need to open the file that says nr2003c or something like that.

i installed it to it's normal location.

i do open NR2003c.

Have you patched it? Are you using a no cd that is built for your patch?

Ah, sorry. I read something on the NTG forums about opening it on W7, was trying to remember it.

yesterday i tried turning off DEP, i was just nervous to do it because of my sister. AND IT WORKS!!
