I have a soft spot for the old game Need For Speed II SE and was able to play it with XP installed. However on Windows 7 it won't work, even with the compatibility settings used. The games start screen and the setup options loads correctly, but when the actual game starts the graphics are completely corrupted, apperaing in lots of strange colors. Can this be helped?

first off, i would like to say welcome to the forums shalompanna, Garcia and Amit Verdeii. As for the problem, it's a good idea to be the admin of the computer, that way you can easily make the graphics for the game you want better. As for the problem with the strange colors, I suggest that you run the game in Compatibility view 32 bit so it won't show. I have NFS2, normal and SE (i have 2 computers that I run one or the other on) and MW and the same problems happen to me, but when i run it in 32 bit compatibility it doesn't show weird colors, it shows all the colors in the game. Hope this helps.

I have a solution, hope this work
First of all i will tell u how to remove strange colors
1.Open notepad and type without brackets:)
(taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe
NFS2SEN.exe
start explorer.exe)

2.then save as batch file that should NFS2SEN.bat in game directory

To run game smoothly
1.check compatibly mode in vista (service pack 2) of NFS2SEN.exe not NFS2SEN.bat
run batch file that is NFS2SEN.bat
Enjoy!!!!

@Amit Verdeii - have you patched the game to the latest version (if there is one)? If so, than I do not know what the problem there is...

Is it possible to get a higher resolution than 640x480?

It is by opening up the main menu before you start the game and change the resolution there, or go to the options menu when in game and do it there.

Oh, and Welcome to the Forums NfsFan.

Unfortunately this is not possible in the menu. There is no option to change the resolution. It is 640x480 all the time :( I think a patch or an extra programm is needed to change the resolution.

Solution for Need for speed SE II not working in windows 7

Hello,
First download these files:

1. dgVoodoo2_15
2. Microsoft Application compatibility toolkit 5.6

after downloading both,

1. copy the files glide.dll, glide2x.dll and glide3x.dll from dgVoodoo2_15 folder to the game directory.

2. open -> start
->compatibility administrator 32-bit

under Custom Databases there should be a New Database entry, right click it and choose Create New > Application Fix.

Under Name of the program to be fixed: type Need For Speed II SE (or whatever you like)

Under Name of the vendor for this program: type Electronic Arts

Hit the browse button and navigate to the installation directory for the game, and select nfs2sen.exe.

click next, under operating system Modes choose none, and click next.

You need to check the following boxes:

EmulateCDFS
EmulateGetDiskFreeSpace
GlobalMemoryStatusLie
IgnoreException
MapMemoryB0000
SingleProcAffinity

Click next, and click finish. Click Save, and give the database a name (Need For Speed II SE), and a filename (nfs2sen7) and click save.

Then click on the file menu, and choose install. This will solve all the errors with running the exe.

Now, click "RUN" button from the top toolbar.

your game should work properly.

if you see any colour problem, then
1. click alt + enter
2. open task manager
3. goto process tab
4. right click explorer.exe
5. end process
6. click end or end now
7. click alt + tab

now, there won't be any colour lag.

enjoy palying the game.

after exiting your game,

->goto task manager,
->new task
->type - explorer
->ok

that's it.

Have fun

:)

Note:

If your game freezes at any point, then

applicable only for non - optical disc drive users

1. download any small disc file
2. right click and select open with
3. windows explorer
4. you may see that a disc drive has opened in your "my computer"
5. leave that behind and enjoy the game.

:)

If there is any sound problem, then

1. click alt + enter
2. again click alt + enter

the sound will be good as it should be.

hope it helps.

:)
