I think you have to set your computer's date back prior to 2000 (yeah! Back to the 90s!), then run SRE RESET. This is a Y2K bug. After you reset the game, you can set your date as normal and you should be able to run the game.

There is a section on this in the Netfoss documentation:

I just tried it in Dosbox and it seemed to work. I've been meaning to add this game to my board, so your post was timely.
