It's been so long since I have played NFS SE :)

Unfortunately Win2k/WinXP do not allow direct access to hardware that these DOS games require. There are ways to make it work, but not worth the trouble it takes to set it up. You're best bet if you really are dying to play those games is to setup a dual boot system with Win2k/Winxp and win9x.
