I suspect you see the spinning disc, then it just quits to Windows.

This would indicate to me that you have upset the copy protection in some
way.

It could be your CD drive (are you running it from the SAME drive you
installed it from?).

Are you using some sort of CD Emulation software?

Is it the original CD?

Have you altered anything at all where the game is concerned?

Some copy protection systems will not work with certain types of drives.
Check the readme for any potential issues, especially if you are using a
Kenwood ZEN drive.

I believe that the problem is with Windows XP.

I installed NR2003 under Windows XP with a Radeon 7200, and when I start
NR2003, it goes through the intro sequence, and then reboots my computer.

I set up a Windows 98SE partition on the same computer, and installed NR2003
there. It runs fine.

I have sent an email to Sierra tech support last week, and I'm waiting for a
response.

Are you running in OpenGL or D3D?
I run N2003 on XP Pro in D3D with a Radeon 9700Pro card with no issues.

I'm using D3D.

I can't get OpenGL to work. When I select it, it goes through it's checking
routine and then freezes, reporting zero bytes for texture memory.
