Hey everyone - any and all help would be appreciated on this -

My boyfriend's birthday is coming up this weekend. He really likes the old DOS game Machiavelli the Prince, and recently tried to get it to run on his computer (I believe it's Windows XP) and couldn't get it to work. For his birthday, I'd like to get this working for him.

Ideally, I would like to get it on my own computer (which runs on Windows Vista) then burn the game to a disc for him to use at home. However, I don't know much about computers and I know next to nothing about games, so I'm not sure whether that is possible.

If anyone can provide step-by-step instructions, that would be awesome. Someone told me there may even be someone out there who has already converted the game and can send me the file, which would be amazing but probably unrealistic. Thank you so much in advance for your help!
