You can also try this, On the shortcut righclick and

select properties, there is a tab at the top right called
compatabilaties, and there is an option to select the
type of windows you would like the game to run under EX.
95,98 ect....

DOn't know about the others, but Black and White *needs* the latest patch
applied before it'll run on XP.
