Hi JW, for you I've installed NFS:HS again and looked at what needed tweaking.
First start regedit again and goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ELECTRONIC ARTS\Need For Speed High Stakes
Where it says 3D Card and 3D Device Description, you could go through the hassle of renaming it "Matrox G400", but really necessary it isn't
The D3DDevice should be edited to a value of 1, as well as Triple Buffer (also 1).
Rebooting Windows is needed for the registry to be read again, after which you continue to your 3D setup in the NFS:HS folder/under Start etc. Put the 3D renderer to 3D Device 1 (or if you changed the name like above, to G400).
Now start the game and put your name in, choose a single race. Do not go to Start Race, but to the options.
From there, pick Graphics, Advanced Settings, and check that Triple Buffer is on, as well as Z-buffer is on, all the others should be set as high as possible, fog on, lens-flare on.
Now go back to the graphics screen (with the done button in the left-lower corner), and set your screen resolution
to 800x600x32(z) or 1024x768x32(z) ...
Then set the rest of your preferences.
The game should work okay now. If in doubt at how to do something, or it's still not working, email me
Jorden.
