Try using Ken Silverman's NOLFB.COM.
Yes, it’s my fault.

NO! Get the unofficial LBA2patch:
What causes the display problem and how is it fixed?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LBA2 doesn't query display driver for pitch value (the difference between addresses of the first pixels of two consecutive lines of image) at the right time. It apparently uses the value returned by IDirectDraw.EnumDisplayModes method, which may be incorrect with some drivers. The patch changes the code to read the pitch value after each call to IDirectDrawSurface.Lock.
Once again, the chanza/XCOM graphics bug pops up. Of course, I'm assuming that bushwakko owns the Windows version, not the DOS version. (I hope!)
