Creatures 2 on a Vista?

(I looked pretty far back in the forums and couldn't find a post about this)
My old computer bit the dust, so the only computer I have left is my Vista.
I tried playing it using DOSbox, but it kept giving me errors. Then I read somewhere that it's not DOSbox compatible, so that explains that.
I've heard that it is possible to get it working on a Vista via some third party program, but I have no idea what it is.
If you know, please explain it simply, I have a hard time learning to do new things the first time.

Try checking this thread:
Creatures 2 on Windows Vista.

The solution seems to be to get a virtual PC that has something that isn't Vista on it.

Barring that, you could always play around with compatibility options. I don't think I had to do anything special to get it working on my old 64-bit Vista.

Thank you so much, it works perfectly! I'm so happy I can still play it.
Also, I'm getting some nice nostalgia using a Windows 95!

Albian Years C2 works fine for me without me having done anything special. (Inasmuch as C2 ever works fine, anyway.) I wonder why it's a problem for some computers and not others.
