Hi Chris,
The support article from Atari doesn't list anything for XP at all:
http://www.atarisupport.com/faq/bluesbday_pm.asp it seems
they stopped writing support articles for it a long time ago.
Click the last button on that page to email their support if this
doesn't help solve that error for you. I hope this helps!
