My two cents:

After owning it on CD years ago I downloaded this last night from here, and I LOVE it. I already have my PC setup to dual boot when I start it up. I can choose XP (which I use for the internet, music, work, etc) or ME (where I have my older games which don't run that great under XP,) and have my hard drive split into two seprate drives, one for each OS.

So, I moved the zipfile to my ME drive. Went into ME. Unzipped it with the standard "Extract to..." command from the right-click menu. Put the unzipped files into a folder called CN (like the old original game used to go into.)

Open MS-DOS Prompt from ME (not DOSBox or Virtual PC or anything like that) and expand it to full screen, and type:

C:\> cd\CN

C:\CN> game

Of course I ran SETSOUND.BAT first and chose appropriate sound drivers, and it runs absolutely flawlessly. Just in an MS-DOS shell under Windows Me. I think the problems most are having are to do with Windows XP.

Maybe you could try that...?
