Here is what you can try in order to troubleshoot this issue:

- CONTROLLER CONFIGURATIONS
Need for Speed™ Hot Pursuit can be played with many popular gamepads and controller devices. If your device is not recognized, or if you'd like to modify the configuration the game has pre-assigned to your controller, select ‘Controls’ through the Options menu. The re-mapping tools in this menu allow you to change your button configuration for optimal play.
When you re-map your controls the new configuration is saved in this location:
For Windows XP:
- \Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\Criterion Games\Need for Speed(TM) Hot Pursuit\Save\Default\controls.NFS11Save
For Windows Vista/Windows 7:
- \Users\<username>\Documents\Criterion Games\Need for Speed(TM) Hot Pursuit\Save\Default\controls.NFS11Save
- CONTROLLER PROBLEMS
To correct any controller problems, properly configure and calibrate the device from the Windows Control Panel. If the problem continues, disconnect the device from your computer before playing Need for Speed™ Hot Pursuit. Always ensure the latest manufacturer drivers are installed for your device.
Examples of Controller Problems:
- Menu items are automatically scrolled through with no user input.
- Your car makes erratic movements that are not intended (such as continually turning).
- Certain movements do not occur when the proper direction is pressed.
- Sluggish response on slower machines.
- KEYBOARD PROBLEMS
Some newer keyboards do not allow certain combinations of more than two keys to be pressed simultaneously. For example, if you were pressing both the <A> key to accelerate and the left arrow key to turn, and you pressed the <C> key to change your view, the view may not change. Unfortunately, this problem is due to a limitation of the hardware.
While it is possible to bind game controls to the F12 and Print Screen keys, these keys may also retain their original function and can interfere with gameplay.
