Need for Speed nfs hot pursuit crash to desktop

Hi!
I’ve tried two versions of nfs hot pursuit on this page but both of them crashes to the desktop.
When I start the game, the screen turns black for two seconds and then it kicks me back to the desktop. No error-message occurs.
here ar my specs:
Core 2 Duo T7600
3GB Ram
ATI mobility Radeon X1700
Win XP pro SP3
I tried all listed hints e.c. newest directx, newest graphic drivers, newest audio drivers, antivirus deativated, but no reason.
I also updated nfs to 1.01, but it is the same problem.
My problem is not the common quadcore-problem – what can I try next?
Because I downloaded two versions from here I believe that it’s a PC issue.
please help!
