If it doesn't work for you, I wonder if your Windows XP is damaged or 
misconfigured somehow. I've had several different computers over the past 
few years and run Windows 2000 and XP on them. DJGPP has worked perfectly 
for me 99.9% of time under Windows.

While Open Watcom has almost nothing to do with GNU, it's also free, it runs 
under both DOS and Windows and from either can produce executables for 
either (including 16-bit), which is why I might be switching to it when the 
DOS box dies completely.

I might try to help you get DJGPP to work. Please describe a common scenario 
when DJGPP doesn't work -- what you do (step by step) and what happens (what 
error messages, etc).
