No, Escape from Monkey Island was created for Windows 95/98/2000, it has nothing to do with good old DOS. I last played the game on Windows XP and it worked fine. But as of Vista compatibility, I unfortunately don't know. Just keep in mind that DOSBox, as good as it is, can only run DOS games.

Hope that helps. :)
