Needforspeed underground Not running when clicked

so since my wow sub has ran out and cant renew until Thursday i thought i might aswell revisit my childhood game need for speed.

i downloaded the file from https://www.reddit.com/r/abandonware/comments/zr41zu/the_complete_abandonware_need_for_speed_download/

but once clicking "SPEED" like you would, it doesnt start the game the icon on the taskbar comes up but then goes away thats it.

is there something im missing or am i just stupid :P
