The link I posted is basically this:

Has anyone gotten Entomorph to successfully run on a modern computer?
I have the original CD, which claims to be a win3.1/win95 combo CD. I
install. I use the autoplay function and choose to run the game.
First I get a warning that I should adjust me screen resolution to
256/8-bit colour. I click YES to continue anyway.
Second I get a "Please insert game CD-ROM" message - the game CD IS in
the CD-rom from which it was installed - clicking OK does nothing. I
click cancel.
Third I get a "Not enough memory to start game" error message and the
program quits.
I'm running Windows 98 SE, which is somewhat limited in its ability to
control memory settings for windows-compiled/Windows 95 programs. I
have a P4 with 768 MB of RAM.
If you've got any suggestions for how to run this game without
dual-booting or trying to ressurect a pentium computer, please drop me
an email.

Funny, it was working okay this morning, now the page also times out for me.
As for setting the memory, I do not think I have the Memory Tab, Font Tab, Screen Tab, etc. If I remember correctly (I am at work now, so I cannot check, since at work we only use Linux), I only have General, Version, Compatibility and Security Tab. Similar to the picture
here.
How do I enable the rest of the tabs? Creating shortcut (again if I remember correctly) does not enable those. I seem to remember something, though. Is it a .pif file or something like that? (I do not remember how to create a .pif file either).
As for setting up Win 3.1 under DOSBox, the thought did cross my mind, but so did the thought of hunting down all the necessary drivers
