I'm not sure how compatible it is with XP. You should try DOSbox instead.

Run it in DosBox, but to be sure to go on Setup.exe to setup sound etc. Otherwise you could encounter other problems...
And if your not sure how to use DosBox, i believe there is tutorial on their website!

O_o Ok, i think the data could be corrupted on your machine! Or It just isn't there! Try redownloading and make a fresh install!

There's a lot of tutorials for dosbox in this actual forum. It also comes with a readme.

Maybe you could begin with telling us:
-> OS?
-> Dosbox version?
-> Your mount lines?
-> How you try to launch the game?

But if you want links:

Happy reading.
