Hello all,

I used to play NFS Porche like a madwoman when I was a kid, and recently I started to miss it. I installed it just fine, but when I start the game, I get a brief flash of a black screen, quickly followed by nothing.

Doing a check of running processes, after attempting to start the game, shows that the game is not running.

I am running Windows 98 (i know, i know: my computer is a fossil) and the game is version 3.5. Is it possible that the patched version (3.5) is not meant for win 98? I used to run the original game on this same machine, but it crashed a lot mid-track, so I stopped playing. Now it won't even start.


I've tried uninstalling it, then cleaning the registry and temp files, restarting and trying again. No go. Any suggestions? I've got a need for speed-- and playing with the pretty cars. Mostly for playing with the pretty cars.

Thank you very much in advance,

Madeleine.:)

Try downloading the 'Enhanced Version' patch http://www.nfstuning.com/needforspeed/porscheunleashed/patches/
you may get some luck from it. My m8's computer did the same thing but he was running ME Edition of windows and this patch worked for him.

Since you have Win98, any version of NFSP should work. I suppose you shuld try to reinstall Win98(Clean Install).
