Old MS software wont run on XP

I have some discs written by Microsoft for Windows 95.  I have a new Dell 8400 running XP.  I have made changes via the Help & Support Centre, using the Program Compatibility Wizard.  I have tried all settings, and each time, a 16 bit Windows Subsystem screen opens, saying: 'this application is not suitable for MS-Dos & Window applications.'  Does anybody have any suggestions as to what I can do to make XP accept the software?  The MSN support site is very complex to find what I need.  Can you help me?

    Francis2811,

    Not all older Windows programs will run under XP but for your specific error message see if this helps.
