Try installing the Windows 95 version. Windows XP and older DOS programs dont usually get along very well.

Yeah sorry lol I had alot of thoughts going around in my mind and Vindicator how do I get he win 95 version man? Under Properties>Compatiblity cause it dont work. I go in the cd and open the Install.exe instead of auto run and it pops up Install Descent II in the blue dos and it just stops there. I exit out and it says end now

The win9x install is screwed up with me... never worked.
I just clicked "install.exe", and installed the DOS version, then I installed the win9x patch. It worked for me... sort of.
