NFS III Vista Edition
Patch for running the game on Windows Vista & Windows 7 (also tested on XP), including on multi-core processors.
How to install: Run setup.exe and follow the wizard.
The archive also contains an alternative option (in case there are problems with the installer). To install the second option, open the FIX (Patch) Vista and Windows 7 (DX7) folder, copy the d3da.dll file to the game directory, replacing the existing file, and launch the game from a shortcut with the -d3d parameter ("C:Program FilesNeed for Speed III Hot Pursuitnfs3.exe" -d3d).
Additionally, the file processor (NFSIII).bat is included (run it to install), which may be needed to run the game on multi-core processors (install only if necessary).
