Many DOS based games have this problem, some can be run from windows if you create a PIF file for them and adjust the settings, some will only run in DOS. Try right clicking the exe file that runs the game and playing around with the properties. This sometimes works but not always. I have one DOS game that tells me 'not enough free memory need 640k' hehe and my machine has 64MB that one I've never gotten to work. Good luck!
