To run Prince Of Persia 3d on windows XP fine, try one of the following methods: (Usually the game crashes on windows XP because of the NVIDIA Detonator Driver)

1. If the game won't start at all, check the latest sound and cards drivers and download the latest version of DirectX from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/downloads

2. If you have a NVIDIA card like Geforce, download the brand new NVIDIA Detonator Driver at http://www.nvidia.com

3. If the game didn't work, uninstall your newest version of QuickTime and install the version that comes with the game CDs (QuickTime 4.0) (If you have downloaded the game, then you can get the old release of QuickTime (v 4.0) from here http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=quicktime (thanks to spikyone)

4. If you had a crash on library scene, try using the latest patch v1.01 download from here http://popuw.com/download3.html

5. If the game ask for a cd2, search for the crack or patch from here http://popuw.com/download3.html

6. If the game won't work too, try to run the patch, and then use the UnSafeDisc v1.5.5 http://www.gameburnworld.com/dl/protections/dl_unsafediscv1.5.5.htm , click on Decrypt Game then search for pop3d.ico , C:\Program Files\Red Orb\Prince of Persia 3D\pop3d.ico

7. If the game started but you get a blank screen, press Alt-Tab or Ctrl-Esc and re click on the game.

8. To play Prince of Persia 3D without the CD install VirtualCD or VirtualDrive and copy the game on a virtual drive.

9. If the game won't start too: right click the pop3d icon and select an other compatibility mode ex: win98/me.

10. If the game didn't work at all play it under Windows 9x (98, 98 SE or Me)

TIPS:

Tip: Open Windows Media Player first to play pop3d... the game runs much better now! (thanks to ThunderStorM)

Palace - entrance - problem: To solve this problem, open something that makes your PC lag... load many programs in your RAM, and then run the game! it should work! (thanks to wingedwolf)
