Pierre_Andr Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 I have purchased the game "Prince of Persia" and am having technical difficulties installing it. The install routine proceeds smoothly until it reaches the very end, at which point it informs me that "a device attached to the system is not functioning". The error message that the installer throws up makes reference to an "EMEA Registration" and the text on its title bar read "Component transfer". I am using Windows Millenium Edition for this installation, and the following hardware: GeForce FX 5200 128 Mb, Audigy I, 512 Mb RAM and Athlon 1.2 MHz. When attempting the installation on a Windows XP system, the error reads "Instruction error". Installing the game on a low-end system (with, however, a GeForce MX 440 64 Mb) produces no error messages but informs that the video card is not supported. Any fix? Thanks.

EzeWong Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Hmmm, have you tried switching video cards to the lower end system to see if it works? I'm not familiar wiht Prince of Persia error messages to be able to tell you the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.KICK Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 It dosent work on the geforce mx 440 because it dosent do pixel shaders which is what PoP required so thats why it isnt supported for that. I am not etirely sure on your first error. Have you got all the latest drivers, couldnt you send the installed PoP folder from your low end to your current PC and see if works via sending network.

BroChaos Veteran Posted December 17, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 17, 2003 it's probably the optical drive not being able to function because of the copy protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
