Dear Willy Beamish fans,

I found a way to fix my issue with running the game on DOSBox 0.74.

I got this game off Ebay to.......Here is how I got it to work on my XP ....Oh and Have fun.
I know this post is like 3 years old but I must have read it in every google serach trying to find a soulution to getting it to work for my Willy Beamish...so I tucked it away and it collected dust for about 2 years untill I found these instuctions for Night Trap PC and tried it on willy beamish and Hey it worked......So I am writing this post so others having the same problem dont have to go thew what I did to get the answer..

1. Install DOSBox
Launch DOSBox0.70-win32-installer.exe (Or the Newest Version)
and follow the onscreen instructions.

2. Launch DOSBox
Find your DOSBox directory, or start the
program via the Start menu.

3. Set-up DOSBox
After launching DOSBox, there are only
two commands you will ever have to rem-
ember to launch Your game.

FIRST, TYPE:

mount c C: \

(Replace the 'c' and 'C: /' with your hard
drive letter. 99% of users will have "C"
as default.)

THEN, TYPE:

mount d d: \ -t cdrom

(Replace the 'd' and 'D: \' with your CDROM
drive letter the game disc is in or
mounted to. This is probably "D" or "E" for
real drives, and "F" for virtual drives.

4. That's it!
DOSBox isn't perfect -- there might be some
small pops in audio sound, but it's not bad
at all, and they go away after a while.
Everything else is perfect.

This helped me avoid the sound error "Unable to initialize hds! mode=4, port=544" error. I hope this helps others. I can't wait to play this game tomorrow.
