Registry is the section where all the information about the installed software is stored for the Operating System like Windows XP. The Software writes some information about the data of the software which is used later for updating the software applications and also as a register to the Operating System.
Prince of Persia The Two Thrones which is the third part in its series is also an application which needs the data about the application to be written to the registry. This is done by default in the installation of the game. But there exists some cases when the game is dumped to some other drive in the hard disk and the OS may be re-installed. This is the case where, the setup of the registry is required to play the game Prince of Persia The Two Thrones. If the setup is not performed, the game wont be launched. To launch the game, the data about the game should be written in the registry.
The information can be added to the registry just by running the setup.reg file in the dumped folder. This will directly add the information to the registry of the Operating System.
The registry information addition is also required in the case where there is a new user added to the User Accounts in the OS. This new user cannot access the software applications which are not written in his registry. This also can be fixed by running the setup.reg file in the folder in which the application is installed.
As an alternative, the software application can always be re-installed to fix any kind of problem caused by this kind of changes in the registry or any loss of data either in registry or in the installation folder. It is always recommended to the user that re-installation should be performed in the cases similar to this.
Also, when the application is uninstalled the registry values remain in the registry for some applications and it is removed for some other kind of applications. This is also a point of note which may help in some cases of malfunctioning of the software application.
The Registry values can be seen to edit or get some information by typing regedit in the run option of Windows XP.
