Hobson, no offense, but we ALL want our favorite title to run perfectly, but it appears that, in your eagerness to run it, you haven’t been paying attention to the basics of running a DOS title in XP. We know this because you tried to run VDMSound within DosBox. If you had understood what DosBox and VDMSound were, you would have never tried that.
So stop, drop all presumptions, and start from the beginning. Also understand that you might never get your favorite to run "perfectly". Sometimes, even when you give a program exactly what it's looking for, it won't run perfectly.
Now, you can run it with VDMSound; but it will have the audio-delay effect.
You can run it in DosBox, but you will have to "tune" DosBox to run it (no double-size window, adjust cycles, etc...) . When you run it DosBox, you've got to understand, you're not just running the game. You are fully emulating a PC and that takes a lot of processor power, even "Virtual PC" for Windows doesn't do that. Running a game on top of that emulation takes even more.
Having said all that, you should have enough power for it to run smoothly within DosBox. Try it with VDMSound first, other than the sound-delay issue, it should work fine. Does it?
