this neat litte prog not only runs the games but emulates several sound cards as well ( i use soundblaster16 for best results) so you get sound from onboard soundcards found on most modern boards.
 
it will even run games of a CD
 
it saved me a lot of frustration and enabled me enjoy some of my old sofware and all those abandonware games now available on the net
