What the title says.
I played this game before on an older computer, patched to what i then believed was the latest version, and it worked fine, never crashed or anything.
Built a new PC, and installed the game on that one, applied the same patch (1.2), and it crashes all the time, typicly when entering a new race/shop. but sometimes during a race or whilst browsing upgrades in a shop.
I presume this is a patch issue (mind you this is now the third install trying to get it right), and i'm not sure how to check what version of the game it is to verify that the patch is installed correctly.
I've already done the usual of getting latest drivers (bar the eSATA driver, but there is no way that is an issue). Could the game just behave wierd with newer hardware. I'm still using XP (Vista can wait another year before i even look at it).
NFSU2: How do i find out what version it is?

Strange that you don't have the version tab.
Generally after patching, a file called patchlog.txt is generated in the folder where the patch exe is located. Check that file to see if any problems were encountered during patching.
I'll look at my U2 installation later when I get home and get on my machine.

What you can do to check whether yours is the European or the US version is actually pretty simple. Here's what you should do:
Step 1: Launch the game
Step 2: Go to the Car Lot or a place to buy cars at
Step 3: Check the cars. If your lot has the Honda Civic and the RSX, then you own the US version. However, if you find the Peugeot 106 and Opel Corsa, then you own the European version of the game.
I don't know if this would help, but you can try.
