First of all , please specify if you use onboard graphics or a dedicated GPU.
As in case of the Prince Of Persia series , both Warrior Within and The Two Thrones run well on a GPU having shader model 1.1 but sands of time requires atleast shader model 2.0 to run.
Make sure that your graphics solution has at least shader model 2.0 , so as it can run The Sands Of time.

Actually prince of Persia: sand of times is not optimized properly. My one friend too never been able to play the sand of times although he has played POP:2 and POP:3.

Don't bother with POP: Sands of Time on onboard. The last time I tried it on my friend onboard Nvidia 6100 it lagged like hell. Can't imagine an age old game still performs poorly compared to it's elder brethren.

Anyway do you have an Intel onboard by any chance? If yes then which model?

yup sands of time doesn't work well on older onboard gfx. Though it works flawlessly on intel GMA x3000 :D

it wont work on old IGPs as it needs HW T&L or something like that. Also PS 1.1. The other bretherens dont require it :).

Hey guys I have all wat needs POP-2thrones to run- 1gb ram P4(duo core)...Still it takes time to do the action I press here. Its a big problem when u strictly have to use "speed kill" for the monsters. Once it got opened in Safe-Mode and it was like magic. Every thing was damn smooth.............Please technically could anyone explain me how to open POP-2thrones in safe mode..
