I am having trouble getting the game to run. I can get to the loading screen and after that I can't get anywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions? Can I play NFS Porche Unleashed on Windows 2000?

Probably not. I have NFS: High Stakes, and that wont work on win2k, so chances are, porshe unleashed wont work either. :mad:

I have the demo running on win2k. I do not have the full version. NFS-high stakes has never worked on 2k for me.

NFS porsche unleashed works great in WinXP, NFS High Stakes doesn't though

I can get it to load in XP but when I click on the icon it says insert disk and I can't get past that. If I start it by putting the disk in it, it does the same thing after I click on play.

my high stakes installed correctly on mine, but it would give me a corrupted something if I started the game, and it wouldn't even start spinning the CD if I put it in compatibility !

My HighStakes gave me an error message before it would even install. Saying "this game is meant for Win 95 or 98". Then the install would quit. So it wont even install on my machine. This is with Win 2K pro.

NFS 5 porsche unleashed works fine for me in Win XP. There are also seting in XP which let you choose the compatibility mode like 95-98,NT-2k.
