Tried it in WinXP?

It says it works in it according to the compatibility.

I unzipped it and ran SC2000.exe with VDMSound and it worked flawlessly. Only the mouse was a little slow but this would probably be fixed with DOSBox.

I don't see what the problem is. Please be a little more specific and detailed in your explanation of what seems to be the problem.
