Default DOS game works but does not display correctly

I have an old pinball game that used to run fine on WIN95. Now I have
another computer with 98 and I've been able to successfully install
this game (Hyper 3-D Pinball) but once it starts running, the screen
shows only a section of the game in three parts, almost like it's
overlapping itself. There's also three mouse cursors, one in each
part of the display. I got the computer, from a friend, with four
different monitors. I've noticed that none of the monitors have all
of the male pins (different pins are missing from each monitor) but
each one gives me the same results. Otherwise, each monitor works
okay. I'm thinking about buying another video card, but I'm worried
that it might be too "updated" to display a DOS game. Can anyone give
me an idea of which way to go on this?


Any options in the game itself to change screen resolution?

The game is old but it does mention that some video cards may cause a
problem, and it lists a couple, but I've tried changing the display settings
to no affect. However, that was when I've tried to install it on my computer
with XP on it. I'll give that a try on my other machine and see what
happens. Meantime, if you can think of any other suggestions, I'd surely
appreciate it.

Thanks.
