That's strange, maybe it's a driver issue on Windows XP. Check your drivers for are up to date for your video card.

That won't work unless you happen to have a real vintage ATI 3D video card running on a real Windows 95 system…

Ultimately it's very hard to troubleshoot when you're running such old hardware I'm afraid

I figured it wouldn't, I just wanted to see if the TombATI.exe file would actually run. It appears to, so it seems that the problem is in one of the support files.

Usually, if a program won't work on XP, I'll immediately get some kind of error message.

I'd be surprised if it's the hardware. I think something doesn't like XP.

I've used other wrappers like Nglide, and DGVoodoo (1.x versions) with no problem.
