Don't know if it helps, but try to change the byte at 0x2e31 in file.exe from 0xf9 to 0x01. This should render the program usable with dosbox as well as XP (maybe still not usable in the way you need it, but give it a try). wd

Did you use install.exe to configure the sound? Do you hear music during sound test? General Midi and SoundBlaster 16/SoundBlaster (as music devices) work pretty well (midiport=330, sb=220 7 1, as configured in dosbox.conf). Try to turn off sound effects (so music is the only output) and hear if …

with little modifications it's possible to install win95 under dosbox (nearly the same code for the installer as in win3.11 and lower, microsoft wasn't really "inventive" at that point). but running it is a different thing, and mostly unnecessary i think 😀 wd
