You have two choices as far as I know,
1, install windows 95/98 in a virtual machine (virtual box for exmaple), and see if it works that way.
2, Try dosbox and dosbox turbo which has dos and some windows support. I think you can install windows 95 directly into dosbox.

My understanding is that Red Ace Squadron is fully compatible with Windows XP. You did install the game to your new computer using the game's installer right? Once installed, right-click the game's .exe file and go to 'properties' and then the "compatibility" tab. Try changing to Windows XP compatibility mode first, if that doesn't work then play around with those compatibility options until the game hopefully works. Hope that helps.
