Laserlock is a form of copy protection. If I recall correctly, there was an early patch to Windows XP that corrected a flaw reading some forms of copy protection.
Have you installed all updates from http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com ?
Have you tried running the game in compatiblity mode? This is accessed by right-clicking on the program shortcut, choosing properties, and selecting the "Compatiblity" tab. Some experimentation may be needed.
Are you (attempting to) run the game with local administrative privleges?

OP
Yes, I tried all compatible modes, but it didn't work. I think the problem is not laserlock despite of that it's giving that error. The main problem must be that 16 bit applications cannot run onder XP. Do you know are there dos simulations or some programs like that to run 16 bit applications on XP? Thank you for your patience anyway.
