SW? That could be a dozen games, and we can't read your mind to find out which one you're talking about.

People abbreviate old game names all the time here and expect everyone to know which one it is, and I can't for the life of me figure out why.

syndcate wars sorry 🙁

I tried getting Syndicate Wars to run with VDMSound in Win XP, but could not even make it start.

I then tried it with DOSBox 0.63 - and that appears to work. I experimented a bit, and this is the configuration I ended up with:
