Windows Col in Windows 7... x64 even?

As stated, me and my roommate just upgraded to Windows 7. He's a bit backwards, complaining over all the little things, when his old computer had gone so far as misplaced its' BIOS... eh, long story. But, Colonization was one of those things that I'd like to do too, so I figured I'd ask the experts :]

Any insight? It's an x16 program if I recall, Vista ran it fine, 7 doesn't seem to and that's concerning. I'd REALLY prefer NOT to use Dosbox, it's more trouble than it's worth most of the time. What other options are there?

When you say Vista ran it, you're referring to the 32-bit version?

As Windows 64-bit won't run 16-bit applications, I guess you'd have to install some sort of VM with a 32-bit OS. (i.e. XP-mode if you have the Ultimate version)
