I would have to reinstall the demos to give you the exact error message for
Ten Pin Alley, but I do know for a fact that my Desktop Computer with modern
hardware (two or three years old) can't run TPA 1.2 under XP, while I have
no problems with your other titles and I have DirectX properly installed,
.net Framework, VB 6 libraries and Visual C++ Runtime 2005 and 2008 as well.
I know of two or three more XP computers (not my own ones), where it also
was absolutely impossible to get the game to work at all.
I have both versions, version 1.1 and 1.2.
Version 1.1 runs fine under XP, but not 1.2.
I know at least one friend with two Windows 7 computers and he told me that
he could run the latest version of the game properly.
He didn't even know that his version is 1.2 while you list it as version 1.1
on your game download page.
