What exactly is not working?

I just downloaded the game, ran it with VDMSound... Works like a charm.

@EoF: Isn't it obvious? We've got another clueless who thinks XP will run all of the games on the site perfectly.

@Dave: Use DosBox. You can download it here.
If you have any problems with it, try having a look at the official FAQ on the DosBox site.

Yes it is, but I always try to give the guy a chance instead of taking the easy road. I'm always more inclined to help nicely someone when the question is well formulated and don't contain leet talk, spam and such...

After installing DosBox, it does not work like a driver or a similar thing. It won't start up automatically when you want to run a DOS game, so you need to start it manually and then run the game through it.

Anyway, make sure you read this: Basic Setup and Installation.
If you have any further questions, there is anofficial FAQ on the DosBox site.
