Need For Speed: Carbon & Intel iMac 2.8 GHz

Hello All,
I just bought *Need For Speed: Carbon*. I thought I met the requirements, but some other forumes discuss the ATI card may not be enough for the game. The game gives me the error "Cannot locate the DVD-ROM", although it is clearly inserted. I followed the instructions exactly, installed it onto my iMac, and then typed in the CD Key provided on the booklet.
*My Apple iMac* from 2007 has 2.8 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, with 2GB DDR2 SDRAM. 800MHz Bus Speed and L2 cache of 4 MB. I am using an _ATI Radeon HD2600_ graphics card. I am running Mac OSX 10.5.7.
*Need For Speed: Carbon's* requirements for the game are Mac OSX 10.4.9 or higher, 1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster, 512 MB RAM or more, 8x or faster DVD-ROM drive, 5.3 GB or more free space on HDD, and finally video cards Nvidia (7300 or better), *ATI (X1600 or better)* +Note: GMA950 integrated graphics adapter is not supported.+
Help!? I have all the required specifications. I don't understand why it isn't accepting the program and not booting at user prompt. Thanks in advance.

I can't adjust to wide screen mode in Need For Speed: Carbon

Dear guys,
I can't adjust the graphic to Wide Screen Mode in EA game "Need For Speed: Carbon", I had tried to adjust the dpi in "Options", but it seems no wide screen mode there!
Is that normal? Thank you guys!

Need for speed carbon in mac

I just bought a new mac with 2gb RAM and 2.16Ghz processor, I am totally new to MAC OS and have no clue about its compatibility with softwares. Im really excited about playing Need for Speed Carbon in my new MAC, does anyone have idea how do I go about doing that?

I am interested in that game as well. I have not succeeded (nor tried very hard) to get games to work on my Apple. I received a reply to a ? similar to this by posting to the Parallels forum. I was told that Parallels supports DirectX 8.1. However, someone else posted that they loaded v. 9.0. Carbon requires v. 9.0. Register in the Parallels forum (http://forums.parallels.com) to post questions. One of the posts discussing this topic is: http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=12428&goto=newpost.
Hope this helps. Let me know how u do.

Need For Speed Carbon

Does it work on a macbook? I've read some pages that say it do, and others that say it dont...

Try GameSpot's forums. Post it there in the PC forums. They will tell you how it will run.
My guess is that you'll be very lucky if you get it to run with the MacBook's slow integrated graphics chip.

Will playing excessive need for speed games on my macbook pro damage the arrow keys(i play using them) ??

hey guyz i wanted to ask whether playing excessive (1-2 hours daily) need for speed carbon on my macbook pro using the arrow keys to control the car damage the arrow keys of the MBP??
pls answer asap i am worried..

I don't think that you have to worry about arrow keys because they won't damage with their use (unless you hit heavily these keys). Using games, there are other things to worry, as the temperature of the Mac, but fans will turn on automatically when your Mac needs

I've installed bootcamp 4.0 on my iMac 27. Everything works superb, but for playing need for speed run or battlefield 3 I need catalyst driver 11.7 or higher. How can I update my graphics? Is there a possibility except waiting for a new bootcamp version?

But how do you install the drivers if Bootcamp is running interference?
Bottom line, I'ev tried to install three different versions of updated ATI driver sover the last few momnths and on each and every occassion have ended up with the original Bootcamp driver. A number of current games are unplayable on a Mac running Bootcamp as a result.
And if I can't run the software I want, then Bootcamp is as useless as boobs on a bull.

MSI ti 4200 128 MB and Problems with "Need for Speed: HighStakes"

Does any one know of a fix for "Need for Speed: HighStakes" with the new 45.32 drivers. When trying to start this game it won't even load, the screen goes dark for a second and then falls back to the desktop. Did the same thing with 43.45, but if I install the drivers that came with the Video card ( I think they were 31.XX) then the game works fine. Haven't come across any other games that won't run except this one, some examples that work fine are UT 2003, C&C: Generals, Warcraft 3, Hot Pursuit 2.
System:
XP pro OS (sevice pack 1) DirectX 9
Athlon 1800
512 MB RAM
MSI nforce 2 Main board
MSI GeForce 4 4200 ti 128 MB 8X AGP
Thanks for any info.

well I "bugged" the game makers (EA) and the response is that the game doesn't suport Windows XP. Strange that the older nVidia 31.xx drivers work fine with the game. Also played it on my last machine which had XP and a ATI radeon video card. OH well who ever said Direct X was supposed to be backward compatible.
Too bad the older drivers don't work so well with the newer games.

Missing icons for Tetris and Need for Speed

Hello,
I've had a good look around the forums but cannot find an answer to my problem.
According to "My World", I have installed both "Need for Speed" and "Tetris". However, no icons for these appear on the Playbook.
My home screen currently consists of two pages. These icons do not appear on either page. I have checked carefully.
I have checked inside the BlackBerry Bridge folder, just in case.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Tetris and still no luck.
I have reset the PlayBook (held down the power, and volume buttons for 10 seconds).
I have checked inside File Manager, Pictures, Music.
I am based in the UK, is it possible the app is not available to people in the UK?
Thanks for any advice!
Tom

Yeah. With the help of someone smarter than me in the office I now have the answer. And in case you miss this too - my icons for both Need for Speed and Tetris were not in the panel to the right. Instead, they were on the default panel but I had to swipe UP. I did not know that icons could be hidden there.
So I'm not feeling like the sharpest tool in the shed but in my defense the PlayBook offers no cues that there are any icons off the screen below (or above) in the same way that it does to the left or the right.

@Ceroberts75-Need for Speed Questions !

OK, This is in specific to Ceroberts75 and maybe also others... After People have reported some improvements in smoother and faster working of their N900 after the PR 1.3 update. The Need for speed Tips that Ceroberts75 has posted in his topic " Top 12 Maemo Issues and Fixes that Ceroberts" After the PR 1.3 update is it still required ?
Following those tips for Need for speed, is it gonna make the device even more faster and smoother even after the PR 1.3 Update. is it still required after PR 1.3 update ?

dont worry about it. it is not going to hurt your device....
but if you still feel like there is a little monster lurking around the corner that is going to get you, then when you uninstall the swappolube, it will automatically go back to stock settings.
this is the same for the transition control.
as for the speed and which one you should use....that kernel that you installed, enhanced kernel.... all the different speeds are fine. i have 2 units locked at 1.15ghz since it came out and prior to that, at 900mhz. i have yet to see anything bad happen, ie-phone catching on fire or burning my face, or discoloring my elppa casing...oops...was that my outside typing fingers? anyway...i would not have put it up there if it wasnt safe to do so.
have fun with it...you will not hurt your device doing so.
Hey Ceroberts75,
Sorry if I am asking you this again, But I am still not really satisfied. I am OK with Swappolube, But I want to delete this events.d.folder that it created when I accidentally also clicked on the store Tab (pls check the screenshot). How do I delete events.d.folder. I checked my entire phone I could not find it anywhere where has it gone and is hiding.
I am ok with Swappolube but I don’t want the events.d.folder to store anything.
is the events.d.folder associated with Swappolube? So if I uninstall swappolube will it also go away with swappolube !!
