Hi, I've played CivII for years and recently upgraded my computer from my trusty old XP to a Windows 8.1. Before I got rid of my old computer, I backed most of the stuff on it up, including the CivII MPS folder containing the .exe application (I lost the original CD-ROM long ago).

After installing DOSBox and mounting the CivII folder on it, I attempted to run CivII, and received a message saying "This program must be run under Microsoft Windows".

How do I get around this issue? I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this since it seems to be a DOSBox issue, but I assume many of the users of this forum are somewhat knowledgeable about how DOSBox works. In any case, I just want to get back to being able to play CivII.
