For me it's a case of installing the game, then copying the nfs2sea.exe executable from the game CD-ROM (right-click Open the CD drive in My Computer) to the NFS2 installed game folder then running that with either Zeckensack's Glide wrapper or dgVoodoo installed (I simply put dgVoodooSetup.exe, Glide.dll and Glide2x.dll in the NFS2 folder then fiddle with the settings in dgVoodooSetup.exe as follows:

GLOBAL:
Renderer API: Direct3D9
Screen bit depth: 32 bit

GLIDE:
D3D texture bit depth: Optimal
Refresh rate: Always wait for at least one vertical sync
Texturing options: Disable mipmapping on
LFB access: Enable LFB access, Use hardware cache on, Use fastwrite on, Closer to a real hardware on
Texture mem size: 16384 kB
Resolution: 1280x960 (tweak as you like heh!)

Rest at default or off... but again, tweak to taste.

That's with 1.50 Beta (not the brand newest one) on Nvidia card
