See "Compatability" in the XP help files:
"The Program Compatibility Wizard
This wizard prompts you to test your program in different modes 
(environments) and with various settings. For example, if the program 
was originally designed to run on Windows 95, set the compatibility mode 
to Windows 95 and try running your program again. If successful, the 
program will start in that mode each time. The wizard also allows you to 
try different settings, such as switching the display to 256 colors and 
the screen resolution to 640 x 480 pixels.

If compatibility problems prevent you from installing a program on 
Windows XP, run the Program Compatibility Wizard on the setup file for 
the program. The file might be called Setup.exe or something similar, 
and is probably located on the Installation disc for the program."
