I think that's unable to do that, because probably that DOS game is 16bit instead application, but Windows Vista doesn't run 16bit applications. |

Only 64 bit Vista can't run 16bit applications. 32 bit versions of Vista can.

DOSBox, Virtual PC 2007 from Microsoft (If you have a copy of MS-DOS or FreeDOS to install on it), etc. DOSBox will be easier though. |
