In what flavor of Windows are you trying to run P2?

If 9x/ME, create a shortcut to dark.exe, and set the shortcut
properties (I forget where exactly, offhand) to not detect DOS. Run
via the shortcut, and it should work.

NT/2K/etc is another kettle of fish, and one I can't really address,
not having any systems set up with an NTish version of Windows.
