Basically, when I play LAN game, at the beginning of the race it would say "3" "2" "1" then I would get kick out to desktop and get this stupid message "Movdfl-Invalid Shape Type #######".
 
By the way, I have no problem playing Single player. Just multiplayer mode.

Yup, I can play NFS Porsche in all modes. Single, multiplayer (LAN) and of course online.
How did I get NFS to run: I didn´t deleted the gimme.dll as mostly suggested, but set up a fixed size page file.

I tried both 384mb and 1000 mg of Physical memory setting and they both didn't work for me. Oh well, that just mean more time for Counter-Strike.
