NR2003 and Windows 7/8/10 (No-CD Patch)

[Josh Wooten]

I get an "error starting config.exe" prompt when I try this patch. I've always just played it off the CD but with win 10, after the pc hasn't been restarted for a few days, it won't start the game when I click on the icon.

Run it as an administrator

 

[Josh Wooten]

If you read threw everything suggested in this thread and it still doesn't work your best bet is a complete reinstall. Move your tracks and series folder to another location, delete the entire sim and do a fresh install from the disk, then get to two updates and install them, then install the no-cd patch, then move your folders back.

I was having the exact same issue and your advice worked. I just found out about the No CD patch and reinstalled the game, but I had forgotten all about the two updates. I bet Josh Wooten forgot about the updates as well.

Easy mistake to make.

dosen't work on me
help me, i got my dep disabled

 

[FirezMarcusPlay]

really dosen't work on my pc even My safe boot is disabled and i turned off dep and deleted my original.exe and raplace with the no cd patch goddamn it

 

[DaleJrFan95]

Try a clean re-install. Other than that, I really don't know what to tell you.

 

[Bill1947]

Did you reboot your computer after disabling dep? You need to reboot in order for the dep disable command to take effect.

Do you just restart your PC after downloading that .exe?

 

[martinrace]

All you need to do is put it in your nr2003 folder and start the sim with it

 

[bungi43]

nevermind

 

[bungi43]

I give up.
I for the life of me can't get this to work. I have not tried a fresh delete and install, but other than that.
When I go to my DEP, my game is not there. This no CD patch with it off will get me into the game, into a race screen, then crash. If I turn DEP on, the game won't start at all.

 

[bungi43]

Woot. May have fixed it.

I have the Nocd patch and a few edited exes that all work fine without dep. But I'm trying to use the Physics editor exes, and I'm not thrilled about turning DEP off. Does anyone know what to do? I'm trying to make an "all in one" pack, if you will, of NR2003 content so you can have some sort of career mode. The late model exes are old as dirt though, but they feel awesome and I don't want to have to not use them.

YOOOOOO. IT WORKED SO WELL! No More Crashes! Thanks A Ton!

 

[yount19]

After installing the NO CD Patch, the game loads but crashes right after the title screen is finished...
Has anyone encountered that problem???

Run in compatibility mode as xp sp3

Can someone find a version to work with the GTP mod?
