I don't have System Shock 2, but ttlg.com is a really good site for the old Looking Glass games. They helped me get Thief 1 & 2 running on XP. You might try reading this FAQ there:

I managed to get it working. I had to download the multiplayer patch and then had to adjust the system settings so that the program was only being run using one CPU. Apparently if it is running two at the same time it causes problems and freezes the game after only a few seconds play.

Thanks for the help anyways.
