It should just work - no need for special instructions.

Sounds like a problem with your graphics drivers. Try searching the forums here for "SDL_VIDEODRIVER=windib".

Rats! The 3d part of my VideoCard is shredded and I will replace it tomorrow. I was hoping that I could play a DOS game to waste some time until tomorrow.

Thanks! 😢

This is a contender for my personal "The strangest and most useless VOGONS posts 2007"-award.

There's no such thing as a "3D part of my videocard". Nowadays, all major functions of modern video adapters are implemented on one IC. Either the card works correctly (=the IC is OK), or it doesn't (=the IC is not OK). There's also some more additional potential for broken components on the card, but i won't go into details here.

If your card is broken, you should have mentioned that in your original post. One person actually wasted time answering to a problem that didn't exist in the form you described it in your original post. If the card is broken, then there's a high probability that you will have multiple problems, both in 3D (gaming) _and_ 2D (OS, applications, etc.). Assuming that DOSBox will run OK on a broken card, just because it's a "2D application" (which it isn't) is just very, very silly. Your answer to MiniMax' post implies that you knew there's something wrong with your hardware before you posted the original question.

Charming. Maybe I should start annoying people with my specialized knowledge. Or maybe I learned already in Kindergarden that not everybody has the same level of knowledge in certain fields.

Thanks anyway...

It's about common sense, not specialized knowledge. Your Kindergarden, or some later form of education, should have teached you how to ask questions correctly. Well, it's never too late to learn things. (;
