Today i tried to install "NFS Underground"(not Most Wanted). It was "half" installed by earlier becuase i had to stop the installation and go. Today i tried to install it, Most Wanted was working perfectly fine. It told me to insert the second disk, i did as it said. Then it said it was the wrong disk with the title Need for Speed Most Wanted,even though i was installing Underground...Then after that i canceled the installation and booted Most Wanted and as the title says, a windows poped up saying "speed.exe has stopped working".

I updated my videocard drivers and all of a sudden the game now works properly. Kind of an akward solve on my side. But i didn't realize there was an update and i really didn't think that was the problem. But thanks alot for the help. This is where to go

When i right-click on the game and click on "properties", then compatability, there is the "compatability mode" where you wanted me to run a test. I ran the test, it recomended "service pack 3". I chosed "that", then ran Most Wanted. The "load screen" shows up, it waits longer than usual and then it tells that i have to insert my disc. It is instered. I take it out and put it back again and try to run Most Wanted again. Same result.

Again i go to properties and uncheck the compatability mode and click ok. This time i get "speed.exe has stopped working" as usual. If i go back to properties, it has changed to "service pack 2". I didn't change it myself.

I have been looking for possiblecompatibility issues with Need for Speed: Most Wanted Version 1 (2005) and Windows 8.1 in the Compatibility Center [Link to Windows website]. The Game is compatible.

To repair or remove speed.exe, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take.
