windows xp & dos oddity

I have an old dos program (file express) which my client insists on
using.
It has run without issue on win98 and win2k. I have had lots of grief
trying to get
it to run on win xp home. Finally I downloaded the program to my
machine ( windows xp pro + amd 64 processor) It ran straight away, no
issues. So I thought perhaps some weird issue with win xp home vs pro.
Loaded the program on a win xp pro machine ( amd 32 bit processor) no
go, same issue as win xp home ( pentium processor), the program seems
to load up and then hangs the machine. I have repeated and edited all
the settings I can find for the program, still same results. It works
on win xp pro + amd 64 bit processor. I am now stuck, does anybody have
an idea as to why ? or perhaps a solution.
also the manual indicates at least 512 conventional memory which all
machines have.
