So I recently came across this game Are you Afraid of the Dark from the 90s.....and found an .iso for it. I'm using the latest version of DOSbox and my system specs are

Time of this report: 3/15/2011, 21:07:58
Machine name: TYLER-PC
Operating System: Windows Vista™ Home Premium (6.0, Build 6002) Service Pack 2 (6002.vistasp2_gdr.101014-0432)

System Model: alienware

Windows Dir: C:\Windows
DirectX Version: DirectX 11

DxDiag Version: 7.00.6002.18107 32bit Unicode

I open dosbox and run the following command lines

Z:\>mount c c:\games\
Drive C is mounted as local directory c:\games\

Z:\>imgmount d c:\afraid.iso -t iso
MSCDEX installed.
Drive D is mounted as c:\games\Afraid.iso

Z:\>d:

D:\>install.exe

the game installs fine but when it runs, the dosbox screen is kinda cut into rows and moving the icon between leaves an afterimage of the icon so the game is unseeable...though the sound comes through fine. Is there anything anyone knows I could do to possibly alleviate this? I'm mostly computer illiterate, but I learn quickly, so any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

No no no no don't say that!!

There happen to be a bunch of threads on the subject already, for some reason. There was even one just last week!
