I found this in a few different places around the 'net - hopefully it's helpful:
Getting an Older Program to Run on Windows XP
If an older application gives you trouble when running Windows XP, you can set the compatibility properties manually so that the program runs in a different mode, such as Windows 95, or in a different display or resolution setting.

If an older application gives you trouble when running Windows XP, you can set the compatibility properties manually so that the program runs in a different mode, such as Windows 95, or in a different display or resolution setting.
- Right-click the executable or the program shortcut to the executable, and then click Properties.
- Select the Run this program in compatibility mode check box.
- From the list, select an operating system that the program runs in comfortably.
- If necessary, also change the display settings and/or resolution, or disable the Windows XP visual themes.
