nfs2sexp.zip - run nfs2se with windows xp
NFS2SE will run under Windows XP with compatability mode off. If you have 1GB of ram (or 1GB of swap file), you'll need to "install" a .SDB file to set some compatability parameters. I created two sdb files, one for the standard version of nfs2se, and one for the "3d" version. There's also a readme.txt file that explains how to "install" a .sdb file.

w512mb.zip
Contains w512mb.exe, which allocates 512mb of ram, then goes idle until you close it. This program allows Need For Speed 2 and earlier games to run on Windows XP. You may have to run multiple instances of it in order to get NFS to run. If so, you may want to create a batch file to do this. For example, on a system with 2GB of ram and 2GB of swap file, you usually need to run 4 instances of w512mb.exe. w512mb.zip also includes a sample batch file, w2048mb.bat, that does this and includes these lines:
start /min w512mb.exe
start /min w512mb.exe
start /min w512mb.exe
start /min w512mb.exe
