TOAW III runs perfectly in XP - as it says on the game specification page at

Haven't seen that one in a while. You used to see it a fair bit trying to run Windows 95 stuff under XP... I'm no techie but I think that the installers just assumed anything not '95 or '98 must have been NT, there being no alternative at the time.

Which, of course, is why you won't have a problem. TOAW1 and 2 are pre XP games, TOAW 3 is not.
