Sometimes this comes up if there is an XP account registry or permissions issue, one thing to try is to make a new XP user account (setup as a Computer Administrator) and logging into it to test the game from.

Detailed steps from Microsoft are here*.

(*They have you make a "Limited" account in those steps, when you get to the option to choose the account type select "Computer Administrator" instead).

Once you've made the new XP admin, log off of your current one, and login to the new account and try launching the game there. (Don't use "Switch User" as it leaves both XP user accounts active though).
