    I have no luck whatsoever, lately everything has had some kind of problem lol.

    Anyway, I just installed NFS MW(legit), and patched it, but when I click on the icon, nothing happens, nothing at all, it's as if I never clicked the Icon at all.
    I tried running as administrator, Compatibility mode, and running in 640x480 resolution, but none of those worked.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Guys this is annoying, I really wanted to play this game, and now it just isn't starting? No black screen, no nothing, it's as if i didn't even try to open it.
    Sigh, Can anyone help?

    Have you tried just reinstalling the game? Which compatibility mode did you set it to?

    lol u're really having a problem... even my old D600 with pentium M 1.6GHz and ATI 9000 series card can play it... are u sure u have a legit copy? Also try running it in compatibility mode or updated ur GPU drivers? Really weird problem... it used to run also on my desktop with pentium 4 processor and intel integrated graphics.

    Look for the No-CD patch. It usually helps me when I have a game that won't start. If you have a legit copy, then there's no reason why you can't get a no-cd patch.

    Guys thanks for the replies, I fixed it with a reinstall, patch and a little bit of patience.

    @sean473
    I can max out Mw calmly ;)

    That to me makes it sound like you don't have a legit copy.haha. But I really don't care about that, and I read it as Need for Speed MW(to me meaning modern warfare)haha.

    Yeah I know this is a useless post :p .
