If you start the DOS GUI "Seal" in DOSBox, DOSBox exits.

before DOSBox exits, it displays this error message:

Hmm, that program seem to be looking for a specific model of VGA card. Is there any way to instruct it using VESA?

Another reason that it doesn't run is because it needs DPMI, besides the graphic card.

Disregard the last two replies. The error was probably cause by an unhandled DOS call.

unlikely.
it's a protected mode check

it should fails else the game assumes there is allready a dpmi handler installed.

fails and unhandled are the same for multiplex functions

The file "SEAL.EXE" has the "CWSDPMI" embedded in it. After I started "CWSDPMI" before I started "SEAL", I got a different error message.
