You sure it worked before? How much did you play it before?
 
Try these: http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=214
 
I don't have Heroes 2 but if it has a DOS4GW.EXE file in the game directory then you'll have to extract the archive and rename the files in the archive to DOS4GW.EXE....or simply rename your old DOS4GW to OLDOS4GW.
 
You could also try DOS32A instead of DOS4GW: http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=7794
 
If anything I said is too technical then just download DosBox: Http://dosbox.sourceforge.net and run the game in that.
