Nah, Keith888 has the answer. XP (home and pro) has a compatibility mode that allows programs to run in a shell with a command set representing the OS it was designed to run in originally.
Off the top of my head ... After installing the game right clink on the icon it places on the desktop and choose properties. There is a Compatibility tab, click on it and you can choose to run the program in compatibility mode and choose which OS to emulate. I've attached a picture showing the drop-down box with the options.
This should do the trick.
