Some 9x applications can be run on later systems like Windows XP because of a feature Microsoft developed called Windows on Windows. However, support is very poor and 64-bit versions of Windows don't support it (because Windows on Windows refers to 32-bit program support instead). Selecting Windows 95 or Windows 98 in compatibility mode may help, and Windows XP will get the best compatibility, but it's best to use XP in a dual boot setup (or in a virtual machine instead) since it's no longer officially supported by Microsoft.
