If you get errors, Make sure your game is properly installed.
A registry key created on install, but not required for play, is found here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\EA Games\Burnout(TM) Paradise The Ultimate Box
or here
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EA Games\Burnout(TM) Paradise The Ultimate Box
Depending on your architecture. A ‘String Value’ called “Install Dir” must reside there for this tool to work.
In my case this is: “C:\GAMES\Burnout(TM) Paradise The Ultimate Box\” if you get errors, Make sure this key exists.

hi Nigel. I’m attempting to take advantage of your BPAdvCFG v0.5 tool. I’ve made sure the registry key’s path is correct, but I havn’t been able to fix an error ‘mscomctl.ocx’ that appears. The two Microsoft dowload links don’t seem to help, one of them actually refuses to install itself. I’m running 7, is there any guidance you’d be willing to provide? -Nick

M$ changed their first link slightly. I’ve just updated it. MSCOMCTL.OCX is Microsoft Common Controls. It should be available at the 2nd link.
Here is another version of the file from Microsoft https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=10019&40ddd5bd-f9e7-49a6-3526-f86656931a02=True
BPAdvCFG v0.5 link is down
Author
Link appears to be working fine. When in doubt. Check the new ‘Downloads‘ section 🙂
I can’t run it on Windows 10, even though I have installed both links, and the InstallDir is set correctly. It gives me an error saying mscomctl.ocx is not installed or invalid.

Try issuing this command:
regsvr32 MSCOMCTL.OCX
