You should be able to run it using the compatibility feature in Win XP.

you will need to install the game, after that right click on the program icon and you will see the compatibility tab and then you can set it up.

Hey. I've got the same problem as the other guy, but I don't get it how the compability tab helps out. I mean I tried it and all the options there still range between Windows 98 and 2000, when I run it on my XP, it crashes as soon as it starts generating the map. This is sort of awkward since I just installed Heroes II as well, and that works just fine. A little more help please? Cheers

What that is asking is for the version of Win that the game says it is designed for. So if the game is a Win95 then check the Win 95 box.
This game seems to have alot of problems with XP. You might also want to google the game and see if you can find other sites that are listing the same problems.

Good Luck
