Hi,
I'm having extreme difficulties to get Need For Speed 2 SE to run under my Windows XP system. I know it -should- work, but it doesn't. I've managed to locate and install the latest update with no luck.
This is an e-mail I've written to the author of GlideWrapper (http://home.t-online.de/home/zsack/), latest release was 04.04.2004 so he's still developing it.

Hi,
I've just tried out your glidewrapper and I must say I'm exceptionally pleased someone
is actually doing work on it still We've played Need For Speed 2 SE on our LAN's
here for ages, but had to stop when people were discarding their Glide cards. But it seems
you're our light in the tunnel
A few problems though, I'm not sure if it has anything to do with your glide wrapper, but
when starting NFS2SEA.exe, I get this error -> "Initgraphics - INITMEMMAN REQUIRED
BEFORE INITGRAPHICS FILE c:\nfs2se\game\3rash\initgrf.c LINE 44"
I'm also unable to start the game normally through NFS2SEN.exe because of a null pointer in
the code.
"Unhandled exception at 0x00497522 in nfs2sen.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing
location 0x00000004."
System specs is AMD XP2800 Barton core, Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB, Windows XP SP1
and all official updates installed.
I've tried running the game in all the compatible modes with no more luck.
Is there anything I'm overlooking? I would really really really love to play this game again.
I've also managed to dig up the NFS2SE EA patch after an hour of googling.
Thanks for any replies,
qw
