Could someone please tell me why I can only install one or the other of
these on my PC. It's quite new 2.8g dual core, 1gig ram and a 6600 gtx vid
card.
It doesnt matter which of these two game I install first but when I try to
install the other I get a asked if I want to play the first game install. It
seems Underground and Most Wanted think I am just trying to run autorun them
or something. Both games are new to me since I just upgraded to a PC capable
of running either one, so I would like to have both install so I can flip
between them.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, were you able to solve the problem.
Thanks in advance.

There is a solution to this annoying bug in MW installer.

1) Install UG1
2) Open up regedit and find key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EA
GAMES\Need For Speed Underground
3) Rename that key to (for example) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EA
GAMES\TEMP Need For Speed Underground
4) Install MW
5) Open up regedit and find the key again, this time restoring it to
it's original state.

And now you have both games installed.
