I am trying to get the new tahiti trial version to work on
my xp I downloaded the direct x patch and it still wont
run can anyone help?
 
Hi Christine
What is the exact problem when your seeing when you try to start the game?
Are you attempting to start the game under a limited user?
If you have a message coming up saying 'Unable to create DirectDraw Surface.
Make sure that DirectX is installed, and then try again.' and are using a
Pentium 3 or newer processor in your computer I do not believe there is a
solution to correct this on the trial version of Pandoras box.

Christine, where did you get the new tahiti trial version of Pandora's
Box. I can only find Pandora's Box Demo here:

http://www.microsoft.com/games/pandorasbox/downloads.htm

If this is what you downloaded, then try on the same page the download
of pandora10a.exe. It indicates it is for PIII's. I have a Pentium 4
with XP and the full version of Pandora's Box (note it says nothing
about XP or P4's), but I had to use update to make Pandora's Box work on
my system. Give it try, it can hurt. It's sad so many people are
having problems with MS newer games in XP.
