Can I still play Freespace?

I recently decided to dust off a few of my older games when I came across an old favourite, Freespace.
Throwing it into my computer I discovered that for some reason it no longer runs. I have heard you can get around this problem but my technical knowledge concerning computers is rather lacking.
Has anyone here know how to get it working again?
Thanks.

Works for me :-/ I use windows 2000 I know XP screws with some stuff if that's your operating software.
I'm also assuming you mean Descent Freespace and not some other game called Freespace

I like it a lot I think it'd make an excellent book series. I even downloaded the 'bible' about 80 pages of background information on MS Word really cool stuff.

Yeah, I meant Descent:Freespace.
What is this 'bible'? And where can it be found?

I don't remember where exactly but it called itself the Descent Freespace Bible so I'm sure if you did a search you could find the word document. It just has more background info on all the ships / weapons / species than the game went into. It said it was in the hope of an author using it in a future book.
It also had the transcripts of all the cutscenes and pictures and charts in it. I'm out of town right now but when I get back I'll try to copy and paste some of it.

Ok, thanks. I'll go looking for it.
To clarify my original question, I'm using XP on my computer.
