Problems getting beasts and bumpkins to play.

I know beasts and bumpkins is a very old game, it was made in 1997! and it doesn't seem to want to work on Vista. And I'm useless with trying to fix problems like this

:. can anyone help me? I've set it to run in compatibility with windows 95..and have tried fiddling with other settings. But if i carry on I'm likely just to make the problem worse then better...can anyone help me?

This is the current settings:

hello and welcome to TSF
try to run the game at 256 colors, also run as admin
I suspect that the game will even run, but you could try
also Windows 95 games were known that they run under DOS so try this program:
DOSBOX

if you need any tutorial how to use it, here it is:
