Among the huge list of already released applications is also present and Need for Speed: Carbon. This part of the famous series of racing arcades is still one of the most popular, because many users want to cross it or only evaluate. However, when installing on Windows 7, certain problems may occur, which are most often associated with the launch of NFS. As part of today's material, we want to demonstrate accessible methods for solving this problem.
Solving problems with running Need for Speed: Carbon in Windows 7
In mass sales, the game has been published back in 2007, and as you know, the Windows 7 operating system appeared only in 2009. Accordingly, the developers did not assume complete compatibility from this OS. Just because of this, and some problems appear leading to the fact that the game simply refuses to start. We propose alternately familiarize yourself with the most popular options for the correction of this problem, so that it is detached to pick up suitable for yourself. We offer from the simplest and effective way.Method 1: Set Compatibility Parameters
To launch old programs and applications in Windows, special compatibility parameters are provided. They must be used primarily in order to solve the difficulty. NFS Carbon is designed to run XP Windows, so we advise you to put compatibility with this version, which is as follows:
- Go to the folder with the game installed and click there on the EXE file of the PCM. This can also be done with the icon that was added after installing NFS to the desktop.
- In the context menu that appears, go to the "Properties" section.
- Open the Compatibility tab.
- Mark the marker "Run a program in compatibility mode with:".
- It remains only to deploy a list to see all available early version of the OS. We recommend using Windows XP with update packages 2 or 3.
- You can mark the remaining parameters, but it is better to do in cases where the standard settings have not brought any result. After making changes, do not forget to click on "Apply", and only then close the configuration window.
After applying all changes made by re-click two times the left mouse button on the executable file to run it.

Method 2: Starting on behalf of the administrator
In most cases, users download and install a pirated copy of the game, and only units acquire it on available trading platforms or have a licensed disk. This leads to the fact that the operating system refuses to properly interact with the program, blocking its executable files. To touch the situation can also license owners, so we all recommend that you go to the administrator account and run Need for Speed precisely from under this profile.

Method 4: Installing Additional Libraries
Almost all existing games, including Need for Speed: Carbon, use the files of additional system libraries for their launch. Usually they are installed immediately along with the application, but sometimes this does not occur or users independently cancel the installation. You should also make sure that there are all the supported versions of DirectX, .NET Framework and Visual C ++ on the PC. Separately note Visual C ++. If Windows 32-bit versions need to establish only the X86 component assembly, then the holders of 64 bits need to be installed both assemblies.
