maybe your video card does not really support the graphics requirements for your need for speed 2. just buy a new video card a powerfull one try g-force 2.4 graphics card or more than that

usually it means that your drivers for directx or your video card are out of date.  try downloading and installing updates.

if it is an installed game try installing it again, and if that doesn't work contact the help people from the game's manufactures.

You could have an issue with your graphics card or sound card if the game shuts down without warning.\n\nTo run some tests try this:\n\nClick on the Start Menu > Run\n\nType 'dxdiag' in the Run box (without the quotes) and then click OK.\n\nClick on the 'Display' tab at the top.\n\nThere are three tests to run\n\n* Test DirectDraw\n* Test Direct3D\n* Test AGP Texturing\n\nNow click on the sound tab, there is one test\n\n* Test DirectSound\n\nIf any of the above tests cause your computer restart then you should download the latest version of Direct X from the Microsoft web site here:\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.mspx\n\nAfter doing this repeat the above tests. If problems persist the the following:\n\nDownload the latest Windows Updates.\n\nIn Internet Explorer select Tools > Windows Update.\n\nFollow the onscreen instructions to download the latest updates for Windows.\n\nIf problems persist then you should then try the following:\n\nDownload the latest drivers for your graphics card and sound card. You will need to go the web site of your cards manufacturer. Click on the Support link and then download the latest drivers.\n\nReinstall the graphics/sound drivers first and then test the game again.\n\n\nHopefully one of the above with resolve your problem.

Hav u tried opening video files with other players? Like mayb winamp or real player?\nHow about when u try to run some computer game? Does the game run without any glitches?\nIf u experience any problem using these applications, u might want to troubleshoot ur graphics card. If this isnt xactly ur cup of cake then i suggest u take ur system back to whr u bought it from and ask them to repair or replace it for u.\nAs u said that it was new, u probably still are in the warranty period so u wont hav to pay anything.\nHope this helps

2 possibilities: you have a weak power supply, or your graphics card is out of date. i suggest a 500w power supply and any card in the ati x1000's or nvidia geforce 7 series. my pc couldnt handle most game till i upgraded with said equipment. sorry but both will cost you about $200.\n\nasian pride.

This are the system requirements:\n    * Windows XP, ME, 98, 95 and 2000 (2000 Server and NT are not supported)\n    * 500 MHz processor\n    * 128 MB RAM\n          o 256 MB for Windows XP and Windows 2000\n    * CD/DVD-Rom Speed: 16x\n    * At least 1.2 GB of additional hard drive space\n    * Sound: DirectX 8.1 compatible sound card\n    * Keyboard\n    * MS compatible Mouse\n    * Controllers are not supported by this title\n    * A video card with at least 32 MB of video RAM with DirectX 8.1 compatible driver and one of the supported chipsets.\n\nSupported video cards:\n\n    * Nvidia GeForce 256 or Higher\n    * ATI Radeon or Higher\n    * Matrox G400\n    * Matrox Parhelia\n\nAdditionally, the following specifications are required for multiplayer:\n\n    * One set of game discs per player.\n    * Internet Exlporer 6.0 or higher \n    * 56Kbps or faster direct Internet connection is supported\n    * DSL or Broadband connection is recommended \n\n\nThese next steps are settings that can be changed inside the game itself.\n\n    * You can also change the video settings:\n          o To reach the video settings:\n                + From the Main Menu select Options.\n                + Select Video. \n          o Systems with 128MB of RAM should always run the game with video settings set to "LOW".\n          o From the Video menu select Texture Quality and experiment with the slider in order to find the best setting for your computer.\n          o You can also try lowering the Graphics Quality and Effect Quality in order to meet your machines level of performance.\n          o You can uncheck the Shadows check box. This will prevent the game from creating dynamic shadows for soldiers and vehicles and should improve performance.\n          o Try unchecking the Lightmaps check box. This will prevent the game from adding detailed shadows on the buildings, which should improve your performance.\n          o You can also uncheck the Environmental Mapping check box. This will remove the environmental effects on water, vehicles and weapons. This should improve your performance.\n          o Also from the Video menu, try to reduce your View Distance in order to increase performance. This will impact on gameplay since your opponents will see you before you can spot them.\n          o Try checking the Alternative Spawn Interface which will give you a black background when you bring up the spawn interface while playing instead of keeping the game view in the background. This improves the mouse sense in that menu on slower machines.\n          o Try reducing your Video Resolution to 640x480 in the Video menu. The lower the resolution, the easier it is for your computer to run the game.\n          o From the Video menu you can try to lower your Color Depth from 32 to 16 bit by picking your desired resolution with the color depth of 16 (800x600x16).\n\n    * You can try adjusting the sound settings.\n          o To reach the video settings:\n                + From the Main Menu select Options.\n                + Select Sound.\n          o You can try to lower your audio quality by checking the 11khz checkbox.\n          o Also test with lowering the number of channels used to 24 or 16.\n          o Systems with 128MB of RAM should always use 11khz.\n          o You can try to lower your sound detail to Medium or Low. This will prioritize sounds harder so that only the core sounds of the game get played.\n          o From the Sound menus second page you can activate Hardware Acceleration given that your soundcard supports this. This should improve your performance.\n\n\nupdate your drivers thats the first thing you should do:\nhttp://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_93.71.html\n\nHere you will find the latest drivers for your card\n\n\nAnd if all this doesnt help conntact EA games tehnical support by clicking this link:\n\nhttp://uk.electronicarts.se/pages/3673/\n\nI hope this will help \n\nGood luck

It could be as simple as bad drivers (audio, video or motherboard) or could be bad RAM as well, by my experience.  Is that a game that you're referring to?  I've assumed so.

Ok, first things first!\n\nCheck that you got the latest Graphics Card Drivers installed. (http://www.ati.com or http://www.nvidia.com)\n\nAfter that, uninstall the game COMPLETELY, make sure the Folder it was installed to, is removed too.\n\nNow, REINSTALL the game, if you can, change the Installation Folder to a different one than were the previos version was installed to. After installation, go to their website, and look for an UPDATE on that game, that might fix some issues with the game or your graphics card.\n\nDo not install any NO CD Cracks/Fixes..... sometimes, those cracked executables have faulty codes!\n\nDont run any other third party programs that effect in any way the game, like Trainers!\n\nIF the game then starts up, you can still try to run it with any Trainer. If it still does not start, try to make a Disk Check (run the Dos Box and type chkdsk C: where C is the harddisk the game is installed too) or any other program you got. Might be that you HD has some Bad Sectors.\n\nAnd thats bout all the Advise i can give to you.

Check the System Requirements on the side of the box, or website you downloaded the game from. If you computer meets all requirements, the game itself probably has a bug in it.

Check your system settings.  Also, there's trouble shooting, both on the game website as well as over the phone with one of the store clerks.

There may be two things to look for :\n    1)Make sure the your settings in your Control Panel\n        are synchronized.\n     2)Do you have the appropriate graphics card?\n         Video driver?

Check the game for the system requirements, if you meet the minimun requirements then you can play it, but only in the lowest graphics settings.  You should consider getting a newer better computer if you plan on playing games.

It should be running fine. Make sure you have at least 512 MB of RAM or more, 1 GB is optimal.\n\nYour processor may be slightly outdated too. If you have a Pentium III or lower, that may be one reason. Also, as the previous commenter said, update your graphics card drivers (www.nvidia.com/drivers).

ok I can help you it sounds like your card does not support open gl and you are trying to play a game that needs open gl to play it and is not compatible with your video card if its a new game most new games need high end video cards to run them if u have a older video card chances r u need to up grade to a new card I would forget about ati and get a nvida card.   Can you post what game u r trying to play and what video card u have like how many MB it has and if its AGP or PCI or video that is shared that means its built on to the mother board

Might be your graphics, computer settings, or something. you should have tried the trial game first to check if it works. That's what I try to do with games, look for demos to trials to check if they work on my computer. It may be your graphics card, or some hardware that it needs. Check the specification. Don't know what else.
