Please let us know how it goes.
I tried absolutely everything. But i get the exact same message. But here is something i have noticed:
When i right-click on the game and click on "properties", then compatability, there is the "compatability mode" where you wanted me to run a test. I ran the test, it recomended "service pack 3". I chosed "that", then ran Most Wanted. The "load screen" shows up, it waits longer than usual and then it tells that i have to insert my disc. It is instered. I take it out and put it back again and try to run Most Wanted again. Same result.
Again i go to properties and uncheck the compatability mode and click ok. This time i get "speed.exe has stopped working" as usual. If i go back to properties, it has changed to "service pack 2". I didn't change it myself.
What i want to say with this is that it seems like i am unable to run with "service pack 3"?
I would be extremely happy for more responds. I can't think of anything else other than this problem existing.
What is your current operating system?
Can you try the compatibility with Windows XP SP2 maybe or try different options?
Open the troubleshooter and instead of 'Try recommended settings', select 'Troubleshoot program' then select 'I don't see my problem listed.'
You should then see the following options:
Additionnally, please launch the game in windowed mode, you can usually trigger the Windowed mode with this shortcut Control + Alt + Enter.
I have been looking for possiblecompatibility issues with Need for Speed: Most Wanted Version 1 (2005) and Windows 8.1 in the Compatibility Center [Link to Windows website]. The Game is compatible.
Have you tried to install or reinstall the video drivers? Some players were able to resolve the issue by doing so.
If from now, you only have difficulty running the disk, make sure your disk drive is properly and the disk is undamaged.
