Need for speed: Most wanted crack

[jrwriter]

I downloaded the 1.3 patch, patched the game up, and then i downloaded the japanese exe crack. I put it in my folder, and reneamed to speed.exe, The problem is that everytime i start the exe it says "speed.exe has encountered a problem and needs to be closed" When i click on view error report it lists some things like "AppVer: 0.0.0.0, ModVer: 0.0.0.0, Offset:00000f25" I tryed leaving it named nfsMW.exe, but when i tried to launch it i still got the same error. "has encountered a problem, and needs to be closed". This happens no matter where i open the exe from, even when i open it stright out of the winrar file, or from the NFSMW directory, or the shortcut. I know yall got this to work perfectly. And i know theres something im missing. Would appreciate any help, thanks

it works perfectly with 1.3 black edition english version..
just rename, replace, set compatibility to windows 2000 and run...
mia's notification now have a subtitle.

Yeah works, After trying all that shit-(i overlooked the simplest thing),lol, I finally switched compatability on the exe to Win 2k on the exe and shortcuts and it worked perfectly on the 1.3 patched version. The only difference is the opening subtitles, and thats basically it. I had one question though, If theres ever another update, will i have to replace the exe with the original while installing, or updates will be fine? thanks
