It would be helpful to know your system specs, but the usual steps for troubleshooting problems like this is to figure out if your graphics card is supported by the game. No sense trying to make a Matrox G200 run NFS2, it won't happen....read the readme on the CD or on their website. Did you update your graphics card drivers? Did you un-install the older ones first before installing the new ones? Have you upgraded your graphics card recently? If so, leftover drivers can cause conflicts, in this case do a clean sweep and re-install Windows.

if you're talking about Need For Speed Underground 2, there should be no XP patch because the game was "intended" for XP (it actually fails to run on Win98), so the only problem i can think of is:
- You failed the hardware specs test, meaning that your computer is "not good enough" to run the game (e.g. your video card is too slow/doesn't have enough memory) and such,
OR
- You received a copy... The CD was just burned, and needs a crack to work...

and i may be very very wrong on these two.....

i had the same prob with both nfs underground and nfs underground 2, and for some reason, when i used the no-cd patches they both worked perfectly. Its very possible that you need to update your graphics driver to handle the game. EA's email support tends to be pretty good, maybe you should give them a shot.
