Need for Speed III on Windows 7 x64

[BlackEnvyX]

Basically I got my hands on a new copy of Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit (originally for Windows 95 and all that jazz) and I can't get it to run on my modern computer. Help!

Try running it in XP compatibility mode.

If that doesn't work, check out this patch I found after some googling: http://veg.by/en/projects/nfs3/

"To configure the compatibility mode for an application, just locate the installation directory and right click on the .exe, selecting Properties from the menu. Select the Compatibility tab: You can choose to run the program in Windows XP compatibility mode, or even all the way back to Windows 95 compatibility."

I think it's a pretty straightforward explanation.

You are making the assumption that he uses English Google or that Google gives such support in his region.
