NFSU2 technical question by zaidgs on 01-26-2005 at 01:06 AM

today i got a small problem with my need 4 speed underground 2: the problem is that when i click the "left" arrow in menues it doesnt respond (yet in races it does); trying to solve this problem:
(1) first i re-installed, which didnt work out
(2) made a new profile, also didnt work out
(3) made a new windows account, this one worked - but im not willing to move on to a different windows account
(4) deleted the saves folder (\local settings\application dada\nfs underground 2\), also didnt work out

also i noticed that after i created a new nfs profile, and after i deleted the saves folder: both of these actions didnt delete some of my settings like controls and resolution.

so my question is: where does NFSU2 save other configuration files other than the saves folder ?!?!

Perhaps it writes to the registry?

Use Regedit with caution to find out if theres hidden settings

thats my question, where are other settings stored?!?!

edit: i tried searching registery, the only meaningfull keys i found where in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EA GAMES\NEED FOR SPEED UNDERGROUND 2\
i dont think this is it because (1) only few settings are there not complete set (2) and that it is found in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE which is common to all windows profiles, but using a different windows profile solved the problem!! so those settungs must be local to user!

Did you check in HKEY_CURRENT_USER? I play it in a cyber (it doesn't work in my PC), so I can't check it.
