| 1225368 | 2011-08-23 11:02:00 | Hello I recently brought Need for Speed Collectors Series (NFS Underground 1,2 and Most wanted) and it seems that none of the games will work. NFS Underground will get up to going into a race, and it will stick on the first frame for a while and then give a BSOD but before you leave the main menu its sweet. NFS Underground 2 is pretty much the same except it doesn't even show the car and won't BSOD but will give a black screen where alt tab and ctrl alt delete won't do anything so you need to restart the PC. NFS Most Wanted is the worst and will crash when animating into the main menu and I think it gives a BSOD as well. Another interesting thing is that NFS Underground and Most wanted seem to be recognized as the same game, by that I mean once you install one the other one will come up with play instead of install but will still say the wrong disc is in. I'm using Win 7 but have tried compatibility mode and virtual box using XP I could return the games ... but I want to play them and get them working. Sorry for such the long post but its quite an interesting problem. |

| 1225369 | 2011-08-23 11:14:00 | Whats the CPU?? Looks like changing the CPU affinity to 1 (If its dual core + In task manager), MAY fix NFSMW This isnt a laptop or something with onboard video is it? A few sites say this maybe why they dont work |

| 1225370 | 2011-08-23 11:17:00 | CPU is an i7 3.07GHz as in the signature, no its a desktop, which is why it worries me as I've had games as old as Morrowind run out of the 'box' | Civic (15464) | ||
| 1225371 | 2011-08-23 11:24:00 | Maybe they don't like 64bit. :) |

| 1225372 | 2011-08-23 11:29:00 | Honestly I wouldn't be surprised by that, but I did try virtual box and I'm pretty sure that was using 32bit XP and that didn't get any further ... although it didn't crash it just wouldn't actually go past the splash screens. | Civic (15464) | ||
| 1225373 | 2011-08-23 11:33:00 | I have NFS Shift, Shift 2 Unleashed and Carbon installed at the moment. Think I have some of the titles you mention as will. Not installed on the computer at the moment but from memory had no problems with them. :) |

| 1225374 | 2011-08-23 11:35:00 | Oh yeah I've got Shift as well, but didn't go for Shift 2, but yeah that runs sweet, its just the older games for some reason, I know that when I had problems with some older games before it was to do with the CPU as theres 8 threads I had to do something to the 4 core xml can't remember what though. | Civic (15464) | ||
| 1225375 | 2011-08-23 11:36:00 | Try with only 1 of the GPUs...ie: without crossfire! | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 1225376 | 2011-08-23 11:44:00 | Well thats fixed at least NFS Underground 1, haven't tried the others yet but I'm pretty sure the issue with Underground and Most wanted will still be there where only one can be installed as they are both seen as the same game for some reason even though they have different splash screens for install/play. | Civic (15464) | ||
