Is it a dos or windows game? If it is a DOS game go to
www.zophar.net and look for a program called DOSBOX. If it's a windows game try running it in compatibility mode. Right Click on the .exe file, choose properties and then pick the compatibility tab. Since I usually ignore Windows XP home in favor of XP Pro I can't garuntee XP Home has this feature. Also if I'm not mistaken if you are partitioned with FAT32 it's also gone. but I could be wrong about that.
edit :
I just found this on google
Minimum System Requirements
Pentium-based PC-compatible
2x CD-ROM drive
16 Megs RAM
MS-DOS
Windows '95-compatible
This leads me to believe it is a DOS based game. The program DOSBOX is your best bet. It may be a little slow or have some sound glitches but it works. I've used the Linux version to play old DOS games on Linux.
