If you can get them installed and they wont run then right click the icon and click properties. Go to combatibility and set it for whatever OS it's meant for. It should work.

It is possible that they will play if you tell WinXP to run it as a Win 95 or Win 98 program. If it is a DOS program, try running it in Win XP's Virtual DOS.
Ottherwise, run it on a Win 95 or Win 98 PC - they're cheep on eBay. I bought a few for $1 each plus $20 shipping each and these PC's work just fine.
Or, you'll need to buy the updated program designed to run on Win XP

Different underlying technologies. 95, 98 and ME are generally referred to as being 9x based, XP actually comes from the NT and 2000 line, which are completely different under the hood.
Depending on the game you're trying to run, you may be able to run it in the 'compatibility mode' provided by XP.
