Aaaah, Zork Nemesis, possibly my all-time favourite. However, I can't get it to run on my laptop which uses XP. It just brings up the error message that it can't detect the CD Rom. This is a Windows game, isn't it? So I don't think you can use VDM or dosbox to make it run. There are a few early Windows games that seem to defy all attempts to get to work on XP, and they won't work on dosbox either as they're not DOS games. However, a neighbour of mine - with the first version of XP - got Zork Nemesis to run successfully. I installed it for him and it just worked without any tweaking. The only glitch was that it froze on one of the animations. We turned down the video acceleration a notch and then it worked perfectly.
EDIT
Sorry....I reread your post and I noticed that you're using a DOS version. Hope someone can offer some help. I've never tried to configure a DOS file in Xp, but can you go into properties, then compatibility and select the 640x480 resolution on the game.exe? Alternatively, in the dosbox, configuration file you can choose the resolution you wish to run the game in.
