Need for Speed Collection and Windows XP

Hey gang. Just received The Need for Speed Collection - I'm sure you've seen it on the software shelves. It's NFS II SE, NFS III Hot Pursuit, NFS High Stakes, NFS, Porsche Unleashed and NFS Hot Pursuit 2. Anyone have any experience with XP and this collection? The box says Win 95 and 98 supported, but I have Porsche Unleashed and it runs fine under XP. Anyone know about the rest? If not, I won't bother opening it - I'll just return for a store credit considering I'm currently having a blast with NFS Underground.

It just ran out of the box. Mind you the copy I have as not from this collection - I bought it seperately about 3 months ago - I'm sure it doesn't matter but thought it was worth mentioning. Make sure you read the readme.txt file that installs in the Porsche Unleashed program group. It may help with any tweaks you need to do. The graphics seem to be decent enough although the text is sometimes very choppy/unreadable. This is covered in the readme file but I can't remember that specific fix.

I have NFS III, VI, V, and VI all running well on XP pro P4-2.6GHz system with a Voodoo 5 5500 agp card. No Underground acquired as of yet. "B. Jones" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Mine was a standalone copy as well. I tried the readme file after I got the same error on a second machine. Didn't help.

I tried it on two different systems, and got the same result on both. It's been a while, but I *think* it would lock at a black screen on startup. It ran just fine on my win98se box, but I had a V5 then. I haven't reloaded it with my GF4 yet.
