I found the following in Amazon's comment section for Amber: Journeys Beyond.
Hope it helps.

I've wanted to play Amber:Journey's Beyond for years, and finally bought a copy
here at Amazon. I also had a hard time running this on XP. I used the patch but
many important parts of the game ( the PDA! ) did not function. Then I read a
post saying it would run in Linux, no problems. I got out my Ubuntu Linux
laptop, installed WINE ( Windows emulator ), clicked on the setup file, viola!
Must have taken 5 minutes. Works a treat, fast, no graphics glitches. Remember
you must install Quicktime when the game setup asks you to. Also, save to the
virtual "C" drive.

What if you don't have Linux, or do not wish to install it? You could try
this...download Puppy Linux and burn the iso file to a cd/dvd. Boot your PC with
the cd in ( make sure you can boot of cd...it is usually default ). Puppy Linux
runs in RAM, it does not install to your hard drive, none of your files will be
affected. Once in, download Wine, and there you go. When you quit Puppy it will
ask if you want to save any of the files to your hard drive. Do so, so you do
not lose your gamesaves. I have not tried this method yet, but do not see why it
would not work.

Amber: Journeys Beyond itself is very cool! Creepy, just how I like it.
