    OK, so try this fix: LINK REMOVED BECAUSE FIX IS ALREADY APPLIED.
    Ok, it's called "Crack", but since you've got the CD, and have purchased it legally, I think you can download this...
    EDIT; not tested this since NFS Most Wanted works fine with my CD; just googled and found this... So you're free to try out.

    Depends on the version of his game, too. But I think that's easily attainable.

    Good news, it worked!

    I replaced the original speed.exe with the downloaded one. Then I set it to compatibility mode for XP SP2 and set it to run as administrator. Now the game starts normally after I mount the image with Power ISO.

    Thanks guys for the help :)!

    Hey all,

    I've got Need for Speed Most Wanted:Black Edition for PC. I tried installing it on my new PC build, and it installed successfully.

    But, I cannot start the game. When I start the game, I get an error message:
    "Cannot locate CD-ROM"

    Yes, I do have the correct CD in the drive. I've even tried making an image of it and mounting the image with Daemon Tools, still no change.

    Other things I have tried are running speed.exe in XP Compatibility Mode and with Administrative rights. Is there a patch or something I need to install? I can't find a solution anywhere .

    Here is a screenshot of the message:



    Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it :)!

    Yes, but he has LEGALLY purchased the game already, and he can't use his disc. I think he has the rights to play... And BTW; because it's working now for him, I deleted the link. Please delete it from your quote too.
    Thanks!
