It says on the website that it will run on Windows 95-2000. Do you get an error when you run it? If so, what does it say?
I can run the original Lemmings in XP without problems.

Did you try setting the Capatibility to Win 95 in the Properties sheet?

DOSBox requires you to mount directories as drives (i.e. c:\dosgames\tankarena mount to DOSBox's C drive). Also you will need to mount your CD drives as DOSBox drives. This way the emulator will have a filesystem to work with. It works fine with XP, I've used it in the past.

Read through the FAQ. It should answer all your questions and set you up:
