I also have this installed on a high-end machine, and I figured out the solution.

This applies if you have a multi-core (core 2 duo, quad, etc). Basically, your machine is sending all processors to Prince of Persia, which in a way overloads the game with memory. What results is the game moving too fast--inappropriate for a game like this.

What you want to do is this: While you're in the game (main menu), switch out the the task manager (ctrl-alt-del). Go to Processes, and find Prince of Persia (I think it is called POP3.exe). Right click, and choose "Set Affinity..." All of your processors should be checked. Uncheck all of them except CPU 0 (if you have a quad-core, keep CPU 1 checked as well). Exit the task manager and return to the game.

That should have fixed the issue. Lemme know if it does not.
