Check the windows\system32\autoexec.nt file with NotePad
Look for
REM Install DPMI support
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx
and be sure it is present and that no REM has been added before the
second line. Second, check that the dox.exe file is in fact in
Windows\system32
If those are OK, check your program by r-click and Properties, on the
Program page click Advanced and make sure that the Autoexec filename is
correctly set to find this file:
%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT
