On the XP CD is a program called APCOMPAT.EXE. It's probably on MS's site somewhere as well. Double-click to install. You'll find it installs a program on the Start Menu called QFixApp. Use that to make a app fix for TIE95.exe. You basically browse to the app, choose you're fix(s), and install the fix. I'd give further detailed instructions, but I'm nowhere near an XP box right now. I might even be able to send you the fix as a file. Let me look into it when I get home.
Are you on a IM (ICQ or MSN Messenger?) I might be able to walk you through things after work. Here's the URL for the download on MS:

Here's a URL describing QFixApp, with some screenshots:

If things still don't seem to be making sense, let me know via the forum, and we'll try to hook up.
