What have you tried doing to fix it?

Have you googled to see if anyone else has had similar problems?

I tried DOSbox but tbh i didnt really know what I was doing, I also tried setting the compatibility to windows 95/98.

What OS was it originally designed to run under?

I used to run it on my old computer which was windows 98 so i presume that.

It's a dos game. Use dosbox to run it.

There are a bunch of front ends for dosbox. Dbox is known to be a good one. Dosbox is kind of hard to use. If you google around you'll also probably find a site with ready to download setups for dosbox, you just have to change the drive letters and directories. I think that was what I did with xcom and tie fighter. I never heard of your game so you are probably on your own for the setup.
