I have a asus nvidia 9600gt with the most up to date drivers, and I thought the phys-x is installed with it, and if not, then I have the version from the nfs shift dvd.

I would try uninstall the game, then phys-x, and finally your video drivers. Reboot. Ignore windows trying to reinstall any drivers if you get them. (or cancel them) Download the latest 180 series driver from Nvidia (don't use the 190 series for now). Install it, along with whatever version of phys-x came with it. Reboot. Now install NFS Shift. What does it do now?

I can't find the 180 series for windows 7 64 bit, so thats a bit of a problem

Here's are the latest 180 series for windows 7 64 bit that I can find, hope it helps...site is trustworthy I use it for my gfx drivers. (I use modded 180 drivers for my gtx 260 card from that site)

http://downloads.guru3d.com/GeForce-Forceware-185.85-Windows-7-64-bit-WHQL-download-2274.html

p.s I assume you mean geforce, I cant find any ati drivers for windows 7 yet.

thanls but I know what the problem is. It's patch 1, don't know why but if I install the patch nfs stops working

must be a hardware discrepency then.

that would be very odd then, the game does run without the patch

Im sure you guys will trash me for having a friggin old radeon X300 video card
but im running a 3.4 ghz processor and have 1 gb of ram but the game wont start!!! The error report says nothing about my graphics card... and im sure thats an issue... but should i at least be able to get to the startup menu before i read that shift.exe has failed to lauch due to ... issues!!!!!

I just can't believe this poorly tested game Like i said, i need a new graphics card but does anyone kno if thats my main problem or not!!!!!!!!

i've just fixed it...
i have deleted my graphics settings in the map and now he's doing well...
thanks for trying...

Today i reinstalled the game as it started crashing for no reason and my system hasn't changed and it runs without the patch but as soon as the patch is installed it will not run crashes straight away.
What i want to know is why has it started crashing all of a sudden it's been fine since i bought it on release day and even run with the patch but today it has started to crash im a bit miffed as to why?

I could but I really cant be bothered, you dont have the specs to run shift so I suggest:

a) delete your downloaded copy

or

b) take it back to shop and upgrade your pc.

Have you tried wiping shift from the registry via regedit and doing a fresh install? is 7 like vista in sense of admin? are you running it as admin...if i remember right i needed to run the patched game as admin on vista.
