German Game on English XP home?

[Guest]

Hi,
does anyone know if XP in English is different ( apart form the language) to
XP in German?
I have the German Version of the game AtlantisIII (Cryo). I downloaded the
game on my PC with English XP. I can start it but then after the first few
seconds of playing the screen goes black and an error report is created. I
have tried every hint and good advice I have been given so far ( Windows
help, reinstall, clean boot, etc.) but it still does not work.
Please help
thanks

Either install an English version of your software program
or install a German version of Windows XP on a separate
partition and dual-boot.

A good third-party partitioning program is Partition Magic 8.

Thanks Carey, I think I go for the easier and cheaper option and buy the
English Version of the game. But before I do, do you thing there is a
possibility to change the files after setup of the game that are different in
the German version? If yes, how do I find out which files and how I have to
change them?

If a program is written in a certain language, you cannot
change that language version unless the author of the
program provides different language version options during
setup, which is highly unlikely.

Thank you Carey, this will save me a lot of time trying to get the game going.
