emperor of dune on xp

Has anyone played emperor of dune on XP.
It says it will work on the XP platform.
But I have read in some forums that a lot of people can't get it to run.
They said it will install but it won't load.
I'm behind a firewall and cannot get to Electronics Arts home page to see if theirs a patch.

I was just wondering if anyone has played that on XP.
It says it will work.

Any info would be appreciated ..........
Thanks

It works fine for me, except that the voices in the movies frequently drops out for a few seconds at a time, and there is no captioning. A real pain in the butt, because I can read lips IF the actors who are talking are facing the camera. But the game itself works perfectly.
