Installer NFS Most Wanted Impossible

Hello,
I reached out to you not long ago and you helped me a lot, so I'm turning to you again! =)
So, when I install Need For Speed Most Wanted, it basically tells me that I don't have DirectX 9.0c or a later version and that I need to download it from such and such site.
I checked DirectX, I have version 9.0c (Crysis, Company Of Heroes, Call Of Duty 4... work just fine :/)
So after looking through some forums, they say to copy the files from the CD to the hard drive and modify the autorun.cfg file, changing DirectX Version = 0 instead of = 9.0c.
I did this once, no problem, it worked perfectly and I was able to play the game, I reformatted my PC because I completely changed my configuration and now I'm doing the same thing again, up until now no problem, and when I launch autorun it tells me Please insert a disk into drive D:. Oddly, drive D: is a hard drive :/ I try putting the CD into my DVD drive (E:) and nothing works, it won't have anything to do with it. So I check the "autorun.cfg" file and I find: Executable = speed.exe.
I think maybe I need to start the installation from this file... so I go ahead and do it!
Now it asks me to insert the disk into the drive, I insert it and everything works perfectly, no problem, after the intro screen a black screen appears... 5 seconds... 10 seconds... 15 seconds... and then it closes and nothing happens, as if nothing had happened.
So I'm desperate, I can't install this damn game!!! Do you have any tips for me?

Thank you in advance.

Properties of AutoRun.exe

Make compatible with Windows 2000

Apply ...

Vroom vroom, it's rolling!

Hello,

I found the solution ^^, Raff your solution didn’t change anything but I found out that I needed to place the game folders in D:/ instead of D:/Documents and Settings/...

Thank you all!

Goodbye!

Tell me, I'm trying to install Need for Speed Underground 1, but the autorun doesn't show up, so I go to the drive but I can't find a setup.exe file
My computer was reformatted not long ago, could this be the reason?

Bonjour, j'ai acheté le jeu Need for Speed Most Wanted et je n'ai pas le temps de le finir à 100 %. J'ai donc téléchargé une sauvegarde qui me permet d'avoir le jeu débloqué à 100 %. Mais le problème, c'est que je ne sais pas comment faire pour que celle-ci fonctionne, car mon ordi ne sait pas avec quel logiciel il faut l'ouvrir. J'aimerais vraiment jouer à ce jeu avec tout débloqué. Comment faire, s'il vous plaît ? Aidez-moi, merci d'avance.

Hello scorpio62, I can help you if you want. Here’s my MSN address: cedric_lange@live.be. Send me the backup file and I’ll tell you what it’s made of and where you need to put it because putting a save in NFS games, especially MW and C, is difficult. So please help me if you find it.

I copied the installation of NFS Most Wanted, but I can't run it from the copied file and I no longer have the CD.

Bonjour, j'ai un problème. La première fois que j'ai installé Need for Speed Most Wanted, il marchait très bien. Puis, sans faire exprès, j'ai supprimé un fichier et il ne marchait plus, donc j'ai été obligé de le désinstaller. Ensuite, j'entre le numéro de série, je valide, mais il m’est impossible de continuer l'installation à cause de DirectX. Il me montre un site pour télécharger la dernière version de DirectX. Aidez-moi s'il vous plaît, répondez VITE.
