Hmmm, just generally I think XP isn't exactly the most supportive of DOS games... You might want to consider getting a DOS emulator from somewhere...

if you right click on an .exe file and select properties it should bring up a window where one of the choices is compatibility. This submenu should allow you to run the program as if it were running on an older Windows machine, possibly even a DOS machine.

Download the three files from here and put them into your windows/system32 folder:

Restart the PC and try to run your games again. It's a common problem with XP sp2, the replacement files (from sp1 incidentally) get a lot of software working again, but I've never tried it with games and so I can't guarantee it'll work.
