It's a Windows 95 game...not a lot to do with DosBox.
Why wouldn't you be able to roll back driver versions?
There's a tool called Nhancer for Nvidia cards that might help you get it running under that driver version, it creates game profiles and lets you tweak a plethora of settings, helped me more than once to get games running when I had an Nvidia card, google for it and look in their forums and nvidia's, maybe someone has a fix.

Don't know about the full game but the demo works on Windows 2000 to Vista 64bit using Virtual PC 2007 and Windows 98SE as a guest OS.

You'll also need to reduce guest hardware acceleration to the second notch from the left and disable mouse additions

Thanks Bloodbat, I thought it would be a pain to roll back drivers just for one game, but that utility looks cool ... I read somewhere that someone suggested running EAW in MS-DOS mode to get it working ... just thought DOSBox might allow you to do a similar thing ... ? Anyway, I've got all the old Lemmings and stuff going great ... so EAW would just be a bonus ... thanks for the reply!

Cool, thanks DosFreak, I've never heard of Virtual PC before ... I'll get onto that now ... I've emulated my old Atari 1040ST on a PC before but this DOSBox stuff is new to me, the Virtual PC sounds like fun ... cheers ... !

Nice to see people still taking interest in flightsims. 😀
