Post thy autoexec.bat and config.sys. That really sounds like a TSR problem. Slow movement tells of Win. Try in clean DOS. We don't support cracks.

I don't think you'd be able to clean boot, I'm assuming you run VDMSound for NT4/2K/XP? Well, try this instead:
Install DOSBox, and run it.
Type MOUNT C C:\ (if C:\ is the volume where PoP2 is on)
Goto the games folder
Run Setup
Run the program inside Dosbox

You are a terrible spammer, you know that? You don't deserve help.

Anyhow, I have a legit copy of Prince of Persia 2. I just tried running it from WinXP using VDMSound, emulating Sound Blaster or Sound Blaster Pro. I do get music and sound effects, but it halts at various places, like the one you mentioned, on the beach. I think it halts whenever two sounds are being played at a time.

You can, therefore, disregard the possibility that your copy of the game is screwed. It's a VDMSound problem. Well, nobody ever said VDMSound is perfect.

As for DOSBox, I don't know, cause I never bothered with it. I have two dedicated machines to play DOS games, I don't need to play them from XP.

However, if you give up music and play sound from PC speaker only, the game seems to be working perfectly from XP, without needing any emulators.
