Try deleting Prison tycoon. Get CCleaner.com to remove all aspects of the game and reinstall. This sould fix the problem, I had the same problem w/ Rollercoaster Tycoon.

No sound?

Seems like a lot of other people are also having this problem.

I would suggest running the game in compatability mode for XP or Vista

Prison Tycoon 3 Lockdown will not start after Loading?

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A-9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en

From what I can tell this link should solve your issue which is a missing .dll file required for direct x to initialize.

Install the Directx from the cd, if there's none than go to Microsoft's page and install the latest one.
That should do the trick for you.

You can download that DLL from here.

Simply download and extract the DLL to your 'C:\windows\system\'

Hopefully thats all it needed to run, in many cases that one file is just the tip of the ice burg.
