Default SBLive Dos mode SB compatibility in XP?

I'm trying to play an OLD game (eye of the beholder), which is a dos game. I have the most recent drivers loaded in Windows XP, and cannot get this thing working in DOS mode. I am just running the game in a windows, but still, no luck.

All the online docs refer to dos-based SB compatibility drivers, but I don't see those drivers anywhere.

Any help would be appreciated.

Make a shortcut to the game unless you already have one.Right click on
it/Properties/Compatibility and try any and all options.One of them
should help e.g run in win95 CPM or 256 colours etc.
If not you can look for patches,

Or you can use a Win95/98 boot disk to boot to dos,
