I have been working with Win2k pro for quite a while now. I HAD NFS4 working fine until recently. I went to do a reinstall and now all it gives me is an access violation through Dr. Watson. I am wondering if anyone else has seen this recently? Perhaps as a result of SP2? Thanks for any help in this matter.

The reason i suspect SP2 is because it worked fine under sp1. I could install, and run the program without any errors. Now under SP2, I cannot install as setup causes an access violation. I have cleaned all the temp folders out, and every other possibility that I can come up with. As soon as setup starts to run, it throws the access violation in setup.exe. Is there possibly a registry key that is causing the violation? Or am I correct that SP2 has created this issue?

Phantomhitman, you said you updated the registry and it worked. What did you do to the registry?
