What did you choose for sound? Try a "vanilla" SB first.

When the game freeze it is setup for soundblaster.

Operating system?

Hi, The operating system is windows xp-pro.

This seems awfully familiar.

Carmen seems to "strongly dislike" NT. From my tests with "Where in USA is Carmen Sandiego?"

Works fine in silence (640k)

Using XP or VDMSound, causes delays in on-screen action. Eventually crashes, hard. Even crashes under VPC5 with Win95.

At the time I was doing the testing, DosBox didn't have it's CD-ROM support, so trying it with DosBox may be worth a go now.

In order to use Carmen with dos box I would need to get a new CPU. At 600 it runs to slow and then freezes using Dosboxes settings. Forgot to tell you that VDMS did fix my Wolf 3d. Thanks.

Remember: you can 'feed' more/less cycles to DosBox emulation by using the CTRL-F11 and CTRL-F12 keys while running something.

For instance, for my Athlon XP 1800+ 10500 cycles is about the speed of a 386 33Mhz. The default value is 1800 so go figures. For some games, you may need to increase the cycles value to something bigger. That's why you have the function keys shortcut. To avoid putting an incorrect setting in the ini file.

Thanks for the tip. Using F11 & F12 alongwith F7 & F8 I can get to go with jerks but it will go, to just about the end before the program quits. If their are any other tips please let me know.

We should make a list of 'roughly comparable to' cycles and then make an algorithm out of that data to extrapolate what the equivilant cycle speed would be for any given processor speed. Hm...now all we need is a program that will measure from inside DOSBox what the clock speed is (being emulated as).
