Never heard of this game before; but no matter.

Try right clicking on the game start icon and set the Compatibility Mode to Win 95.

If that does not help, try searching for DOSBox or D-Fend. These help a lot of older games that require DOS to run on more modern machines. Old games just do NOT like XP. XP does not not have any emulation for DOS.

You could also setup another computer with Real DOS for old games if you are really into them.

I have never used DOSBox or D-Fend; only read about them in PCGamer magazine. Results will vary. The main thing that remains is XP does not like Old games. I can't really offer help myself beyond pointing you in that direction because of the "non use" I mentioned above. You could see if those sites offer any support.

Running an Old game in XP is an extreme problem. It just has no emulation support.
