Hello 'Enybody' who can help me !

I programmed a small game with DJGPP (&Allegro)
On my computer its running very well, but I have a problem.
I liked to give the game to some friends of mine, so I put
the exe-file, the dat-file and some other files (highscore, readme,...)
on a floppy.
First I wanted to try, if the game works on an other PC.
So I run it on my brothers Computer. It was working without
any problems.
In the afternoon I visted my grandparents.
I took the floppy with me and wanted to start my game
on my grandpa's PC, but I was very dissapointed,
because I got an Error :
 "DPMI missing , Download file DPMI*.zip"
Or something like that ( I can't remember exactly now).
I have no idea what DPMI means ??????
(Im just a starting programmer, without much experience)
Maybe it's because my grandpa has got a very small processor
(I think its a 286). But on the other hand my game is really simple,
and  I think it should run there.
(What are the Hardware Requirements for the games,
programmed with DJGPP(& ALLEGRO) or what they
depend of ?)
Sorry for all the quesions and the long Letter.
Can anybody help me . PLEASE . :-)

P.S.> Please E-Mail me your Answer.
