Answer 1

In general, if you want to run dos programs in Windows, you should consider virtualization.

Yes, some dos programs will work even without virtualization, but some won't. This seems to be an example of the later.

Answer 2

Try with (unfortunately unreleased) version 2.04 of DJGPP. Follow these instructions. This version has much better compatibility with recent versions of Windows, where "recent" means Windows 2000 and above. (I cannot believe I am saying this in 2010).
