need for speed most wanted (2005)
I have two copies of need for speed most wanted sitting in my old cd book. every computer I've ever put the disks into running anything newer than windows XP has instantly frozen (something must be off with the disk format). add to that my current computer does not even have a disk drive. [Edit - Admin.] so that I can install with the legitimate keys that I already have on hand? I really want to play some of these old racing games again. also would be interested in downloads for need for speed undergrounds 1 and 2 as I also have the disks and cd keys for them as well.
These games were shut down a long time ago & EA don't sale them any more. Even if you have legit CD's bought at some retailers there is no official help for you. You will have to got an old computer with Windows XP to try these games from these CD's. And even if you work out somehow, you will not be able to connect to online services, because they are shut down!
You can check "if or when the games were shut down" here: https://www.ea.com/service-updates

Unfortunately I don't have personal experiences how to play these games today. But I can found some youtube tutorials (google is your friend)...
