NEED For SPEED Most Wanted: Crashes to Desktop: Please Help

[VSAINI]

I have somewhat related problem with Freedom Fighters also. When I installed it first time it was working perfectly. but after quitting the game when I started it, I could listen the sound of "EA GAMES challenge everything", and it displayed only black screen, not any single picture. and the it went to not responding until i closed it from task manager.

I even reinstalled the game but it didn't work. Even when i reinstalled XP SP2, It didn't work the first time after installation of the game.
I would appreciate if any one help me.
