Yes..I have been doing some searching on the internet and have seen something referred to as glide emulaters? Any clue as to if this could be an issue...Using a GeForce 6800.

What year was the game released? I think the game may be too old to work in Windows XP.

I have NFS Porsche 2000 working ok in Win XP, that's about the earliest version of a NFS game that will work in Win XP I think.

You could try setting the game mode to be compatible with Win 98 in the 'Properties' menu. Then it may or not work.

You might find you Graphics card doesn't support Glide Emulation...

ClickGlide API to get a better understanding of Glide Emulators and what they about...
