I decided to look at my old boxed games which I recently found again in boxes, up in the attic. So I decided to play WarCraft Orcs & Humans using DOSBOX 0.73. Now that I got it up and running, I found that the sound didn't work and that the game was using a very small screen (scroll down for the picture). Now, when I click single-player and I want to start a new campaign, it keeps asking me for the disc. While I had it in my computer, in both the D and E Drives (tried both).

What did I do?
I inserted the disc into my DVD Drive (D:) and used the SETUP file to create a WARCRAFT map on my Local Disk (C:). I then opened that map and I dragged WAR (the file to run the game) onto my DOSBOX 0.73 shortcut (credits to making this possible, by the way).

I am using:
- DOSBOX 0.73
- Windows XP SP 3
- WarCraft Orcs & Humans: original 1994 disc

Picture of the screensize:

Does anyone know how to fix these two issues?

The person reponsible for that feature needs to be shot. 😠

Thanks. I got the sound working now. However, I am still left with 2 problems. It keeps asking me for my disc, even though I have it in my computer. I actually tried it with both discs in both the DVD Drive (D) and the E Drive (E). Next to that, how do I get it to fullscreen mode?Does anyone know how to fix these issues?
