Could someone create a good, well made single post about this? I'd like to move it to the Troubleshooting Archive afterward.

Thanks.

It does run on XP, albeit slowly...

Press Escape a couple of times and wait a bit and you get to the menu. Then you're there and it works.

It runs in DosBox too, and if you have a Windows version, try Microsoft Virtual PC.
