Hello. Thank you for your reply.

I am referring to the original game Need for speed Underground 2 which was releashed in 2004 by Electronic Arts

not for an application downloaded from Windows store. I try both steps you propose but neither of them worked because they are need for speed is a program  not an application. This is what appear on my screen:(speed2.exe stopped working)

Have you installed DirectX9?

If no, you will need to install it, not just for the game but for other stuff aswell(winamp, mpc-hc etc needs it too).

If yes, did you install the latest version?

Also, when you installed the game, did you choose to let it install everything? 1700MB files to be installed if I'm not to be mistaken. 

Because the game works perfectly in my pc. And I also use Win10 x64.

My hardware that runs the game:

MSI Z97-S02

Intel Pentium G3258 @ 3.20GHz

8GB RAM(do not remember brand at the moment)

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti

DirectX 9.0c:

Huh.

I have the disc version of nfsu 1, nfsu2 and nfs most wanted. Nfsu2 runs smoothly, had to have it in windowed mode to show that I use Win10.

And I have not ran into any trouble when installing the game, no compatibility errors or anything :S

No error when running the game either. And my version is retail as you can see by the pictures.

And I do not have any no-cd patches running either. Though I'm not OP, but how could I get the game running without any hacks?

I guess its possible a patch removed safedisc, I'm not sure though. I just see it listed as using safedisc so I assumed that was the reason the OP could not launch the game.  It's also possible another game installed the driver, although I have not seen that before. Do you have secdrv.sys on your system?

I just performed a clean installation of Win10 just to be certain that I had no files from other games, programs etc interfering with installation of nfsu2.

Nfsu2 Installation: Success, no errors, no compatibility warnings
Nfsu2 Playing: Success, no errors, no compatibility errors
secdrv.sys: Is not installed inside c:\Windows\system32\drivers
I do not have that file at all.

UAC activated: yes

Daemon-Tools: Not installed
Slysoft virtual clonedrive: Not installed

Antivirus: Eset 8 installed

Drivers for audio and graphics installed: Yes

DirectX: Forgot to install/upgrade to 9.0C

So I would say that nfsu2 works if you have the disc version.

Also according to this wiki page my version of the game has safedisc-> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SafeDisc#SafeDisc_.28V1.29

And we might aswell take a look on this site: Windows 10 Compatibility Center, 5 of 17 voted compatible and I am fairly certain that they have retail disc version of this game. Since you can not buy this game from origin, steam, gog or uplay.

Hi everyone.

The problem on me (i managed to fix it) is that years ago i had installed nfsu2 on a windows xp desktop. I was going to format the pc so i copy the installed files (from Program Files)and saved them on a external drive. The thing is that these files from the game were working perfectly in all versions of windows (i have played the game in windows 7/8/8.1 without problem) but now the same files wouldnt want to work on my windows 10 laptop.

1 year ago i find the game in a compressed .rar file which i downloaded from the Internet, which included not the installation files but the installed ones just as the same files i already had. I extracted them and now the game is running. I dont know how this incompatibility showed up but the game is running now normaly.

Sorry for my english and thanks again for the support!

How did you get this to install on Windows 10 64bit?

I am having problems getting the game to install even after using compatibility mode under 98 and XP.
