Default Need For Speed Carbon

Hi


I was wondering if you can help me setup up Need For Speed Carbon, I have just brought the game. I am using Windows Vista 64bit SP1 when I try and install the patches 1.3 and 1.4 it does not install correctly every time I load the game it still says that its on 1.2 I have tried copying the patch setup file to where the game is installed to but this has made no difference I have also reinstalled the game as well and it still wont work.



Any ideas??


Thanks,

Re-download the patches from a different source?

I assume this mean your trying to play online?
check you firewall, maybe they are stopping the game from connecting to the main server.
