Prince of persia 3D on win XP

azygos
I can't run the game the problem starts with the installation itself. Midway b/w the installation xp pops up an error message and the installation gets terminated. Someone said that disabling the xp logo check in the configuration manager might help.

007:nightfire can't install --buildcode error pls help

RedStar
This build of CD code is for Spearhead. This is an invalid build of CD code. Please fill out the ereg config form to obtain a valid CD code build. I found this at EA's support site. Its the exact same error as i get when i try to install nightfire (just replace the word 'spearhead' with 007:nightfire).

Sim theme park error

guile231
If and/or when someone makes a patch or finds a way for this game to work on Win XP, let me know. I've been looking for a ptach and have yet to find one. . . I'm sure we all have heard the story, game loads, but when you go to enter a park, the game kicks you out.
