Hello all of ye. I've been lurking this site for a week or so, after I started playing POP1 and 2 again. I've finished them quite easily (I've not lost my POP feeling I guess, although I had some trouble with the end of 2 as I never played it before XD).

However, back on topic, I wanted to install and play 3D (going by the flow, so to speak). I have two PAL versions at home (one of a friend of mine) and I tried to install my original version. Nothing wrong. I skip the Quicktime, DirectX and WMP install as I have all of those as newer version. I put in disk two, play pop3d.exe, and it goes wrong.

I see the logo, then either nothing happens, or I get some kind of debugger error in the pop3d.icd file. Some solutions I've already tried thus far:
- Uninstalling POP3D and reinstalling the version of that friend of mine: same errors.
- Uninstalling Quicktime and installing v4.0: same errors.
- Using all kind of cracks: the icd error disappears, but then I get an error with the pop3d.exe file in the same category as with the icd file.
- Downloading the full version from this site (not illegal as I have the game): same errors.
- Patching the game with all the above solutions: same errors.
I even tried a control:
- Install the game on my father's comp which has Vista and better specs: runs fine!?
I have one possible bugger:
- DirectX cannot be reinstalled or uninstalled (Happy DX Uninstall). I have 9.0c, but something seems wrong: other games run fine though.

I'll give some basic specs: if you need more I'll update the post.
- Windows 2000 Pro SP5.0.
- Intel Pentium 4 Dual CPU 3.2 Ghz.
- 512Mb RAM (which needs upgrading anyway)
- My videocart is a certain ATI card, but I can't find the exact specs at the moment.

I hope you have some solutions for me, as I want to play the game Smile. Thank you.

I'll try it again, but somehow WinRAR couldn't extract a few of the movies as it said they were 'corrupt'. I'll download them and I'll see whether it will works this time: but I don't think it's game file related as the game worked on my father's computer. Thanks anyway.

Have you tried disabling your sound card and playing Prince of Persia 3D without the sound?

I did now. I checked first whether it was completely disabled: Winamp didn't work. I start pop3d, and I get the same error.

This is the specific error. Take note that it's Dutch, but I guess that the important info is clear.

How exactly did you install the game on your father's computer? I mean, did you install any patch, etc. ?

FAFAI can remember, I didn't use any patches... I cannot look that up easily now, but I figure that I wouldn't have done all the trouble of a patch (the LAN is down) only to test if it worked.
