Try compatibility mode, or if it runs on DOS, try VDMSound or Dosbox...

You might also want to download the patch, it fixes some problems (mostly with the DVD edition, but still), it can be found here: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/deskapps/games/public/texmurphy/tex5b104.exe

This page has instructions for how to get a number of adventure games to run, including the Tex Murphy ones from 'Under a Killing Moon' onwards.
