Na lang zoeken heb ik blijkbaar een oplossing gevonden voor de error: "speed2.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close", bij het opstarten. Ik vraag me echter af wat onderstaande wijzigingen juist doen en of het slechte gevolgen heeft of niet? Bedankt!

Hi
Thank you for contacting Electronic Arts UK Technical Support
With regards to your problem, you will need to uninstall and then reinstall the game.
After you have uninstalled, but before you reinstall, you will need to clean your system out. To do this, please follow these instructions:
Firstly:
Right-click on My Computer and choose Properties. Click on the Hardware tab and then click on the Device Manager button.
Double-click on IDE ATA / ATAPI Controllers, double click on Primary and then click on the Settings tab (menu title) up the top. Next to "Transfer Mode" select 'PIO Only' for Device 1. Leave Device 0 (Zero) as 'DMA if Available'. Click OK and then double click on the Secondary Channel and then click on the Settings tab (menu title) up the top. Next to "Transfer Mode" select 'PIO Only' for both Device 0 and Device 1.
You'll need to reboot before it takes effect. You can check it has worked by going back into the same screen, and adjacent to "Current Transfer Mode" it should read "PIO Mode".
Just so you know, DMA (Direct Memory Access) is a faster way of getting data from CD-ROMs or Hard drives than PIO (Programmable Input / Output). It is also less stable, and can cause problems with installing or running games.
Secondly:
Double Click on My Computer
Now open the drive that your Windows folder is located in, default is C:
Now locate your TEMP directory and delete the contents. BE SURE TO NOT DELETE ANYTHING ELSE
Thirdly:
Left Click on Start and go to Run
Type in MSCONFIG and then hit the return button
When the utility loads up, place a dot in SELECTIVE start up
Now click the tab at the top titled START UP
Running down the left hand side, you will see white boxes with black ticks, untick every box apart from the one marked SYSTRAY (if listed). Don't forget to use your scroll bar on the right hand side and go down further. Once completed, click APPLY in the bottom right hand corner and then click on CLOSE
Restart the PC when prompted and then start the game
You should now be able to reinstall.
If you experience anymore problems do not hesitate to contact us.
I hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Jody

It looks far too generic and does not seem at all constructive to me
