One Must Fall cannot be run under Windows of any kind -- you have to run
it in DOS mode.  It is possible to run OMF is DOS mode off your Start menu,
but you have to set the .EXE file's properties to do so.  Try messing around
with the "My Computer" menus, select the .EXE file, look under the File menu
for "Properties", then Select "Advanced" to run it in DOS mode.

That's probably not the best explanation, but hey, it's late and I'm woozy.
Good luck.
