I have tried all the recommendations i have found on the board:
run in compatability mode
lower virtual memory
delete/rename gimme.dll
I have manually patched to version 3.5 using the patch from this site. The only difference is now the splash screen is full screen before it crashes, but crashes it does.
I'm not sure what else to do and it appear EA has washed their hands of the game completely.
I have an athlon 1800xp and an ati radeon 9500.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Any more suggestions on running PU on xp systems...I am SOL
Dude, seeming you look to be having a bit of trouble with your game I went searching other nfs sites to see if anyone had anything different than the run of the mill suggestions which fix most of the games problems. In your case you have a damn stubborn computer so take a look at this. Don't worry about the forum title saying gameplay under Windows 2000 because you need to do the same for xp. The link is:
