You might check the compatibility. XP will let you run programs in a compatibility mode, which might let you run it as if you were running Win 9x.
To do this, right click on the shortcut, or on the program itself in the start menu, and select properties. In the properties tab, there should be a compatibility mode in the tabs across the top, select the check box, and choose whichever Windows you think it will run best in.

Welcome to the boards, SteinL! [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img] May your sword soon sing throughout the Gael Serran.
It sure is possible! I just finished a game on XP. Take a look at the Tech Tips thread at the top of this forum, and you will find the list of things you need to do to get it to work properly. FWIW, I used Win2k compatibility during my last game... worked well. Give those things a shot and let us know if you still have problems.
