Thats a known prob.. MW and U1 using the same installer. That causes the problem...

Open your registry

Then goto
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EA GAMES\Need for Speed Most Wanted

right click the entry then choose export. after you have saved the reg file delete the entry .. Now u can install U1. When u finished the install, double click the exportet reg file... all set :D

Or you can try, like me, to rename speed.exe in the main folder of U1 to, for example, underground.exe. Worked for me, now I start U1 by just inserting the cd-rom and let autorun do it's thing.

Exactly..renaming the .exe files usually does the trick temporarily, but what xxNEMO01xx said, solves the problem permanently ;)

Err, that might sound stupid, but how do you open the registry in Win XP Pro?!?
Cuz I got my hands on a Most Wanted from a used game store and I have UG1 already installed and it do the same problem, but only in reverse. When I want to install MW, it start UG1.
