Judging by the fact that you're trying to run a DOS game under Vista, and by the silly und uninformative title of your post, you need help indeed. I'm not sure we can give you the help you really need, though.

Read my 60 Seconds Guide to DOSBox (and don't just read it - follow it too).

If that doesn't help, come back with details on how you mounted your C and D drives, how you did the install, how you configured sound, music etc.

PS: If you are talking about the free/shareware episode "Escape from Wolfenstein" (http://www.3drealms.com/wolf3d/), my guide should work too, if you use

mount D "folder-where-you-unpacked-the-zip-file"

instead of mounting your CD-drive.

Or you could download DBGL 0.60

http://home.quicknet.nl/qn/prive/blankendaalr/dbgl/

which has the shareware episode pre-installed. After installing 0.60, upgrade with the 0.62 JAR-file.

Done. Merged and did a bit of clean-up, changed the title, etc.
