Need For Speed

Well...I'll attach the files...I modified the ones in Reg1.jpg and it still though that my CD for Underground was for MW.

The second SS (Reg2.jpg) is another place I found it. What is the location of they key that I have to change?

And just to show off, here is my baby currently:

I'm fairly certain it's the one in my attached reg22.jpg you have to hide the file name/registry key from the alternate versions setup/autorun scanreg utility so that it will not find speed.exe in the registry, if it does you will see the "PLAY" option for the application or if runnign setup.exe it will just stop running after finding speed.exe in the registry.

Change the name of the KEY and or SUB KEY and or key data for speed.exe in both pictures, one has a bunch of charactors after it, and the other is a folder, Rename them both and rename the actual registry key data file pointer speed.exe just to cover your bases because the autorun/setup.exe thing will find speed.exe if it's in the registry.. For diagnostic purposes, you could try changing one at a time to find the one that does the trick, also since you are editing the registry, might as well create a backup.

[Gizmokid2005]

Will do. I already made a backup. I made sure to do that after my recent issues...I'll try that right now and let you know the results. Don't go anywhere...

If you have AIM, Yahoo, MSN, or ICQ PM me with the addy, it would be a little faster if I have issues.

Also, just add a 2 after speed, that way you don't change anything except adding a 2, then come back and remove just the 2.

[Gizmokid2005]

Well, we'll see how things go. But changing the second one (reg22.jpg) to speed2.exe allowed me to at least enter the installer. Currently it is installing. We'll see how it goes.

That should be the only one you need to change, probly under HKCU software or something

[Gizmokid2005]

It's actually under HKLM

[Gizmokid2005]

I was able to install and run undergroud after renaming that key...but now, I can't run most wanted and can't rename the speed2.exe back to speed.exe as it already exsists....so when I put in the Most Wanted CD it allows me the option to play, but it opens underground.

See the attached SS.

Just the installer/autorun throws a fit after finding speed.exe in the registry. Each version and it's launcher has it's own installed directory listed in the registry, along with unique registry data for the exe, dll's system file directories etc.. No need to worry about having issues luanching/changing settings/playing the game/saving etc. They both may use the same registry key "SPEED.EXE" but you can have two in the registry, the file locations and internal data will be unique for each application and no conflicts will occur untill you try to intall another NFS title that uses the same speed.exe registry key search, you will have to rename two of them..
