How to get Doom 2 , dos version 1994 , to run in win xp-pro?

Ive a working install of the original dos version of Doom 2 , it
running under win xp-pro , but its suffering from what I think is
called 'video lock' Ie when there is action on the screen the game
judders and so dose the sound

The game played fine upto win me , im not sure of the memory
allocations etc , trying to run it under win-me compatabilty mode
makes no differance , still judders

can it be done ?

Been ages since I played that. If I wanted to install it on my box, I'd use
an OpenGL port of the game. Search google for DoomGL or "OpenGL Doom".

Other than that, you could try DosBox but I haven't tried it personally:
