Right mouse / properties on the exe file and change it to 95/98 under the compatibility tab

689986 2008-07-18 04:07:00 Well if it has to run in DOS, you'll have to run it in DOS somehow Speedy Gonzales (78)

689988 2008-07-18 04:28:00 Well if it has to run in DOS you'll have to copy whatever to a bootable floppy or usb flash drive. And boot from it Speedy Gonzales (78)
689989 2008-07-18 04:34:00 If the software is DOS based, DOSBox (sourceforge.net) should work well... wratterus (105)

Maybe these links will help.

If the game is actually DOS based. :p
