Hi Sam,
When a game is a DOS game, it could work using compatibility mode:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=292533 or by using the Multiboot
bootdisk from:

and always check at fileplanet.com to see if there's a patch available.
With DOSBOX you can emulate a DOS computer on your XP desktop:
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/information.php Or try MS Virtual PC:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/v...oads/trial.asp
which allows you to install DOS or to run any operating system inside XP.
If you prefer to explore other advanced methods, here are two excellent
tutorials I've found on the subject:

and:
