Have you inserted the disk as it asks? It will be either CD1 or the Play CD.

yes i do put in the disk,it dont do any thing ,just keeps on asking for the disk,got xp 512 mb of ram that the only game i am haveing any trouble with.

If you are playing with a pirated copy, updates sometimes change game executables that can tell whether you have a copied CD. Do you have a legal copy of the game?

i got the box set of five of need for speed from compusa,that the only one from the set that will not work.

Try cleaning off the CD with a cotton cloth or lint free cloth.

[Hi Ho]

Do you have Windows XP? NFS High Stakes is not compatible with XP. In fact, it isn't compatible with any newer hardware. I have had no success in getting High Stakes to run on either of my machines. I even installed 98 on my K-6 533mhz and put in an old Voodoo3 video card and I still couldn't get the game to run. I either got an "AMF=Platform 16" or "No disk" error. The last time I played that game was on my now defunct AMD 233mhz with a 4MB Monster3D video card.

yes i am run windows xp ,so that why it dont want to work,i call electronic arts why did they not tell me that.

[Hi Ho]

I have contacted EA several times on that issue and it has gotten me nowhere. They are no help. The problem isn't just with Windows XP. I can actually run the game in XP but it only runs in software rendered mode wich is extremely slow and looks horrible. It's the video card that the game doesn't recognize.
