I love xp, truly
for backwards compat nothing rocks more, maaybe win 98 se
but
you can also manually edit the cfg file,
I pmed ya
but for xp yea there is no "this installed correctly" tick
to xp the program is corrupt, but its not
try 2x neighbor filter (I run 4x neighbor)

digiid=-1
midiid=-1
digiwin=1096302880
midiwin=-1
digiwinindx=0
midiwinindx=0
[misc]
gamecolordepth=32
defaultres=2
screenres=0
letterbox=1
defaultgfxdriver=D3D9
gfxdriver=D3D9
titletext=Quest For Infamy - Setup
windowed=0
refresh=0
gfxfilter=StdScale4
sideborders=0
so for the 2x the gfxfilter line reads
gfxfilter=StdScale2
which is 640x480,
which looks no different in game, only to the desktop res say if you alt tab or some such stuffs
might be sideborders or letterbox being disabled try to backup the cfg, or run the other exe as admin if you can,
might be time to upgrade to win 7 or in another 4-5 months win9 will be a REQUIREMENT per microsoft for all games for windows live etc, ack i dislike microsoft, shrug
