as far as i understand it, winxp doesn't have 'dos' actually. start->run->cmd will give you a dos 'emulator' terminal or something like that, but won't actually be dos.
try booting with a win98 floppy startup disk, that oughta give you the option to boot to dos

Oh sorry, maybe this isn't what you needed. It emulates DOS on XP so you can play old games and run older programs. Not all prgrams will work, but most will...

I think there is a DOS emulator mode when you go to the properties of the exe file.

You can right click > run under and I think you can choose DOS there.

Try this:
Right click the EXE file that starts the game, click properties, Compatibility tab and click Run this program in compatibility mode for: windows 98
Maybe that might help.

if those other tips on emulating don't work, use one of the bootdisks to actually boot to dos, and then run the program from there
