Runs perfekt under Win2000/XP.
Only one error message apperars at startup, which could be ignored (because the game doesn´t recongnize the free space on a NTFS-partitions probably).
Of course for glide support you need a working 3dfx driver. Also a few Glide-Wrappers are working, but i´ve found no one which deliver statisfying Performance and Quality.

I am a big Fan of NFS. Recently I got myself a new Laptop Dell Latitude D820. I purchased a new NFS II SE CD. The installation went fine, but when I start the game, it loads the VS2005 debugger.
Bottom line...I cannot run the game.

WINDOWS XP (AND PROBABLY VISTA) COMPATIBILITY GUIDE FOR NEED FOR SPEED II (SE).
The following procedure will make your Need For Speed II (SE) game RUN NEAR PERFECT UNDER WINDOWS 2000 / XP (and probably Vista).
Game will run almost just as good and in the same speed as under win95/98/me. And I 've tried to make it as much detailed as possible, so non-advanced users can follow it.
So, let's start:
NOTE: You must not have the game already installed in your computer in order to follow this procedure. If you already have the game installed, please uninstall it (don't worry, we will install it again, but in such way it will make it compatible)
1. Go to "(My) Computer" --> Right click your disc drive (the one the game disk is inserted into) and then click on "open" --> go to "SETUP" folder --> go to "ENGLISH" folder (or whatever other language you wish to choose as the installation language)
2. Right click on SETUP.EXE file (it's the one that has an icon with a grey computer and a box infront) --> click on "Properties" --> click on the "Compatibility" tab. Enable the "Run this program in compatibility mode for" option. Select "windows 95" from the menu below. Then enable the "disable visual themes", and "turn off advanced text services for this program" options. Make sure that the "Run in 256 colors" and "Run in 640x480 screen resolution" options are disabled. Click apply and Ok.
3. Close all open windows, eject and reinsert the disc, and install the game. Make sure you make a FULL installation of the game.
4. Reboot
5. Enjoy the game
I have tried this on an two computers, with a NVIDIA and an ATI cards, and it's almost perfect. The only thing I have noticed are some sound glithes. Also, the game has known problems cooperating in windows2000/xp systems (don't know about vista) with more that 512MB of RAM. I am still working on it.

I just had some problems under Win7 32 bit.
It installed fine (run as admin of course), started fine, but the colours during play where weird.
So that is how it runs well for me:
- 16 bit colours (High color) you need to change this in the system control panel
- compatibility mode: XP SP2
- deactivate virtual designs
- run as admin
