 To fix most of compatibility issues you're going to need a 3dfx wrapper (recommended nGlide) and a small system compatibility patch.
 * Download [http://www.zeus-software.com/downloads/nglide nGlide] and install it (default settings should work fine).
 * Download [http://www.zeus-software.com/files/nglide/nfs2se_patch.zip compatibility patch], extract it and run '''PatchInstall.bat'''.
 * To run a game use '''NFS2SEA.EXE''' - this exe file uses 3dfx. '''NFS2SEN.EXE''' is for software renderer, which is extremely unreliable on modern systems.
