That's weird. What version do you have? If you don't have D1/2 Rebirth, I'd suggest getting it.

It is the new version on GOG.com
Are you using dosbox or trying to run the game directly? You should use dosbox.

A better option is what CDN Merlin suggested. Use dxx-rebirth. Dxx-rebirth is a source port of Descent. It's a new game engine. You put the files for Dxx-Rebirth in your descent directory and then run dxx-rebirth. It lets you play descent exactly the same, but it has better support for modern computers. He provided the link where you can download it.
You can also find a link to the Windows installer in the FAQ thread here on this forum :)
