The thing about the games here at Abandonia, is that they are DOS-games, and DOS-games are not meant to be run under xp. You will probably need Dos-Box or something similar, and run the games through that program. Dos-box is downloadable for free here at Abandonia. Please read the Dos-box FAQ. There's also a lot of topics here in the forum about running different games in Dos-box.

Use DosBox (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net). Or VDMSound. Whichever works better on your system.
You can get them from our programs page (http://www.abandonia.com/main.php?nav=programs).
Before you start complaining about being unable to use them, read the godforsaken readme files and appropriate FAQ's in Troubleshooting (http://www.abandonia.com/forum/index.php?showforum=2) and Troubleshooting Archive (http://www.abandonia.com/forum/index.php?showforum=25) forums.
