change output in dosbox settings. The config file tells you which settings are possible. You might alos need to update your graphics drivers.

Yes, that's the default, read what is written above it and change it accordingly and update your graphics card drivers.

I would recommend openglnb. Same as opengl, but no filtering.

I would recommend direct3d since it plays nice with aero, coupled with scale2x forced

Try disabling Full Screen Double Buffer if enabled or vice-versa.

I would use ddraw for ATi/AMD cards and OpenGLnb for nVidia ones.

Just do a quick test and keep trying.
