Can Gabriel Knight I CD version be ran on Windows XP?

I am getting Gabriel Knight 2 on CD in the mail tomorrow! Can that be played on Windows XP as well?

help! I've never played the Gabriel Knight games!

GK2 works fine on XP, I just played it last week. (It hasn't aged well, I played it all the time when I was in middle school/high school. Now, I realize how corny some of the acting really was. Plus, its too bad they didn't have better video compression back then...) However, GK1 does NOT work on XP. You can't save your game, so unless you feel like playing for two days straight, don't bother. Even then, it randomly crashes, and with no saving, that gets frustrating. Anyone know if anyone will ever be able to fix it? I tried setting up a dual-boot system, specifally to play GK1, but my harddrive got corrupted, now I'm scared of even trying it again.
