Your configuration is good enough to run Need for speed carbon....

Install the patch from here

If the problem persists then tell me.....

Also remove the pirated version,install patch only in original....

AFAIK, this is a common issue with carbon. I just hope the same doesn't help with me.

oh, BTW...try getting latest drivers.

If u hv updated ur drivers and Directx9c to latest (Oct 06) and still facing this problem, there is one thing that u can try, though this may not work.... run nfsc.exe in Windows 2000 comaptibility mode and see....

If cryptographic service is stopped, u should enable it and see....

If U r using a NO DVD patch, it is recommended that u don't use it and try with the original DVD in the drive....

If u have have any other games using Starforce/Safedisk protection, then u can temporarily uninstall them, clean ur registry and try re-installing NFS:C.

^^which Graphics card u have???

as you couldnt start the game,
=>Run a registry scan, then try playing the game, if it doesnt help, then...

=>Uninstall the game.
=>Run a Registry Scan.
=>Run CCleaner & clean all the junk files.
=>Now Install the Game again.
=>Now Play.

***Make sure the Game Disk is in the DVD Drive all the time when you're play :D
