In this case you can, and I have installed and setup this game on many XP comps. I have never had any problem with the sound. Actually, in my opinion Settlers II runs better on winxp, then on any old operating system, even DOS.
oh yeah, a small note Dos game sound effects are very possible on WinXP, if the game can handle it. Since Settlers II was made to run on older windows versions, it can figure this out.
