When I try to run Spelljammer: Pirates of Realmspace on Dosbox 0.74 it gives me the error:

Mel Fatal Error #: 3
Mel Version 1.5, 8/19/92

I am not quite sure what this means as I have followed all instruction in the manual.

My computer is running Windows 7 64-Bit, With a 2.66 Ghz Dual Core Intel Processor and 6 GB of RAM, and an Nvidia Gefore GT220 graphics card... I am not sure what the problem is so any suggestions would be appreciated!

According to the game's manual:

"If you receive a MEL FATAL ERROR #3, it means that the game was unable to find
your sound card at the interrupt you specified. Re-run your sound set-up program to
change the settings. If you are unsure about the card's setting, run the diagnostic software
that came with the card."

Thus, run sound.exe and choose Soundblaster pro II at A 220 I7.

Thanks so much, I didn't know how to configure the sound or anything like that so thanks a bunch! But how did you know which sound setting to choose?
