Hi all..
Im having a annoying problem with need for speed 5 porche unleashed under windows 2000..
it just wont work.
i try to start the game, fine, it starts, i come to the splash screen but then, my computer begins to think, ALOT.
and it wont get any further than the splashscreen..
when i go out to check whats wrong i see that all my allocated memory is being used to the max.
but the strange thing is that my brother can get it to work with no problem..

imean i have a regular computer, 866 mhz 512 RAM 2x 50 gb harddrive, asus 7700 GeForce 2 GTS diamond mx 300 soundcard.
I have tried alot of things, have tried to install directX 7.0
have tried to change graphic drivers, i have even tried to re-install windows 2000.. with no success.

any ideas?
anyone know whats wrong/had the same problem?

help!

Ah yes, the dreaded memory leak problem of NFS PU and Windows 2000. Happens mostly if you have SP2. Check here for possible solutions. http://www.ntcompatible.com/n.shtml One of them is to delete the gimme.dll and try to run it. The other is to reconfigure the swap file. The way I got it to run was to uninstall SP2 go back to SP1, install it and run it, if it works update back to SP2 and it should continue to run.
