Welcome to the forum spixie
It would help us if we had the exact error message

Also.....Because the game installed and ran fine before, i would suggest that something you have done/installed is causing a conflict.

Please give us as much information as possible so we can help you better

If it's the 16-bit Sub-system error, there is some spyware out there that deletes the autoexec.nt file.

You can replace the file manually or, my preference, download and run XP Fix.exe (second one down on that page).

Then use Spybot, Ad-Aware and/or Windows AntiSpyware to remove spyware from your system. Particularly stubborn malware may require scanning with all three.
