any suggestions .. :(

Hi Jägermeister, I'm not sure if I understand your problem correctly. You took the NFS:HP2 CD out of the CD-ROM, ran the game, installed onto the hard disk and now it bugs?

Well, unless you're using a fixed EXE, it should be crying for an original CD; unless you're using a no-CD patch, it should be crying for (any) CD. If it's really messed up, it might not find out that it's running entirely (?) from hard disk and, instead of displaying a message "File X not found", it just gets killed...

If you _do_ have an original CD then I suggest that you try it on another PC and/or under another opearing system. Also, note that this forum is _not_ about solving general gaming problems...

hey m8...

Have you realy make all this in order and right place??

If all it's maked clear, than try to use an older video driver like nvidia 80.82 if you have nvidia chip.

wasnt the No-CD/Fixed EXE just a loader from what i can remember from DEViANCE and IMMERSiON team

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Safedisc didnt CD-writer have problem reading them

Yes, you need the no-CD/fixed EXE by DiNO-BYTES. The fixed EXE's only allow you to use a backup CD but you still need a CD as the game reads many files from there. With a no-CD, the files are searched for on the hard disk instead, that's why you have to copy them there manually.

I've just tested the game with this no-CD: it works, even with the very latest nVidia v180.46 drivers, although, for some cars (in some screen resolutions?), the RPM/speed gauges are missing from the HUD.
