Someone was apparently lucky getting it running on his Windows 7 x64 machine (source: DxWnd 's NFS:SE profile notes). This post was actually helpful. I tried what they followed for over 6 hrs and I couldnt run it. Maybe I shall try it on Win7 64 tomorrow and get better results. I found that on …

NFS:SE windows version is a directx 2 game and even on some 98 era hardware won't run, Honestly I'd just run the DOS version if need be via DOSBox. I was just wondering about thje jcu.exe that configures the joystick configuration. It is a DOS file and Windows is probably failing there. Because on …

MDK 2 was the most magical game. At some point, the game doesn't detect any OpenGL driver. The workaround I found is, use Compatibility on WinXP Sp3. This problem usually occurs if game stops unexpectedly at some point, by quitting through alt+f4 or crashing or any other. Happened on Win7,8.1 and …
