I notice on the Plogue website (home of sforzando) that the plugin requires Windows 7 or better. It's listed at the below link under "Requirements".

If sforzando is not installed, BIAB should default to the the installed softsynth that comes with it.

I'm guessing that your Windows XP is 32-bit. If so, and if I recall correctly, SFZ+ player should let you play PG Music's HiQ sfz sounds.

On my Windows 7 system, the PG Music HiQ sounds are found under...

C:\Program Files\PG Music Inc\Band-in-a-Box Sounds\Programs

I'd imagine that they are installed in a similar location on your computer. SFZ+ could be loaded as a VST for a MIDI Supertrack and then they HiQ sfz soundfont could be loaded into SFZ+

Hopefully some of these thoughts are useful for you.
