you have to delete a file called (i think) gimmie.dll i dont know why, but when you delete it the game works fine!
what its doing without deleting that file is generating a HUGE swap file that usually causes the game to crash before it even starts.
hope this helps

How big is your page file ?
when i make the file to big, the doesn't run anymore
i got 128mb ram, and page not biger then 100 to 300 mb
then the game runs fine
good luck

Ok, i went down to the store and bought NFS5 and installed it from the cd and it works perfectly. Maybe you should try that?
I installed mine under win98, then deleted the gimme.dll file and used the crack from www.megagames.com and had it running on each machine that I own, and one actually had similar spec to yours (same card and processor) That was the only way that I was able to get it to work...now i can just move the folder to any tnt based wink machine and the games seems to run fine (1280x1024)
