microprose darklands

This is a discussion about microprose darklands in the Windows Games category; Anybody figured out how to get this old dos game to work under NT4 Workstation? I've never tried running any old dos games under NT and have found the properties option for the MS dos based applications but no matter what settings of EMS, XMS etc I use.

It flicks to a black screen after I click - good.
Then disappears leaving me with my desktop again - bad.
 
No error messages to work with even!
 
HELP ME PLEASE! (I'm quite keen to play this game again since the last time I played it was on my 386SX about 6 years ago
)
 
Thanks in advance
