When I try to run a game with DOSBox 0.72 it says: ''Load error: no DPMI - get csdpmi*b.zip.'' I have read the readme and my OS is 32-bit Vista. I have tried running it with frontends but they show the same message.

Get CWSDPMI HERE. Unpack it into the same folder where the game is located.

Intel i7 5960X
Gigabye GA-X99-Gaming 5
8 GB DDR4 (2100)
8 GB GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming (Gigabyte)

The csdpmi did what it was supposed to do, i guess, but now it says a new error message: ''Exiting due to signal SIGSEV. Page fault et eip=000316ff'' and then it shows some weird info like this:
''cs: sel=00a7 base=10000000 limit=0113ffff''
I could write the whole message, but I don't think that would help. (Or I'm just too lazy to write it all.)

This game most likely doesn't work under dos (real system/dosbox/bochs)
at all, it's noted as win95/98. I could not get it to work with hxdpmi either.
