hi, ive been having some troubles backing up nfs underground 2, it seems each time i try to play with it, the startup is fine etc. and i can get into career mode and everything, but whenever the "load" screen comes up, with the 5 blue bars in top right hand corner, it always freezes, ive burnt it twice now just to make sure, and i ripped and iso'd the game from the original straight from craxtion 4. I read the above posts where it asked to make the evox.ini settings, clearing cache etc. but still it freezes when that little load bar comes up. Am i missing something? any help would be greatly appreciated.

have you tried launching it from a different dash?

MAybe updating the bios (if you still run those in your sig) x2 5035 is newer

Try QWIX to make the ISo too, just in case.
