Hi Memaw,

I think the easiest solution will be for you to pull one of your old DOS
disks
out of the drawer, boot up your computer with it, and use pure DOS mode
to both install and play Warcraft 2. Do not reformat your disk or install
DOS.

The reason I think this will be the easiest solution is because Paul
already
gave you step by step instructions to use DOSBOX, and even made a movie
of the procedure involved. I honestly don't think he can make it much
simpler.
