your Configs are great no probs there, just as ^ said, download fresh drivers for your display and graphics card.

@pathalaravanan

How much is your memory is shared by your onboard VGA?Try increasing it from BIOS.NFSUG1 requires a minimum of 32MB shared memory.Try updating your drivers.If none of hese work my suggestion is to go for a good 256MB graphics card.

nd howz ur memory divided into ????
512 MB + 128 MB ?????

try removing the 128MB chip if this is the case and then try running the game....
