Set up some mounting of a c-drive and of the game cd/installation directory,
and STICK with those mountings. Then install the game, and play it.

Read my 60 Seconds Guide to DOSBox (and don't just read it - follow it too).

If that doesn't help, come back with details on how you mounted your C and D drives, how you did the install, how you configured sound, music etc.

Reading the aptly named README file will be a good idea too.

Somewhere in the folder where you installed DOSBox there is a dosbox.conf file. Open it with Notepad, and change the windowresolution=...... line.
