Yes, a DOS session under Windows will run with DPMI.  Directly from DOS
it will run under "GO32" (which behaves differently wrt HW interrupts).

There are a few fixes for your short term problem:
 1) Get QEMM+QDPMI or 386MAX (or continue to run under Windows).
 2) Get CWSDPMI (the free DPMI which will come with V2).  You can ftp it
    from ftp.neosoft.com:/pub/users/s/sandmann/cwsdpmi*.zip and with this
    you can run under DPMI from DOS.  V2 will automatically load this 
    DPMI provider if you don't already have one.
