Jonathan:

What kind of problems? Please define.

The most common I guess would be Error Div by Zero if you upgraded to a (somwewhat) fast processor. There is a patch for that.

Another would be "not enough files" which you fix by adding Files=200 (or so) to Config.NT (the replacement for the old Config.Sys).

Many problems can be solved by telling XP to run the program in compatibility mode. In Windows Explorer (XP) right-click on the EXE. Select Properties. Choose the Compatibility Tab.
