Re: NFS Porsche Unleased

You need to remove the update that prevents the cd-rom validation scheme (I think it's SecureRom) from installing or running it's special drivers. For Windows 7 and 8, it is update KB3086255 that needs to be uninstalled and then hidden the next time you do a windows update so it won't get installed again. This would apply to almost every NFS game made before 2007. NFS Undercover uses an online activation so this should not be an issue. I'm not sure about Shift 1 or Shift 2.

Take at look at this thread where this is explained:

    Or seek out a no-CD exe, as I posted on another thread; fixed many old games that way!
