People who are using Vista are hopefully aware of the Games explorer in Vista. If not, this is what it looks like. :) (This is Vista Business Edition, so it doesn't come with any of the games that you people might have come across.)

Ok, that said, I played NFS Carbon several times, but it doesn't come up on it. This is not a problem, but I'm curious whether any of you got it on Games explorer. (I might not have got it because I didn't install it on Vista, but used the same installation from XP)

Also, it didn't update the System Requirements as it has for the games that come with Home Basic, Home Premium or Ultimate Edition. :(

You could have renamed the Movies folder inside the game's installation folder. Then you don't have to change the compatibility mode to Win98. But you will not see the in-game movies.

Yeah, the activation didn't work for me the second time :( :(
Damn! I hope they will find a proper way to crack Vista before my activation expires (in another 167 days or so).
