I just go into the quest for glory series and have been playing through all of them but the 4th one is messing up a bit...

At first when I tried playing the game through the start menu, it said that it doesn't work and to test it on DOS so I downloaded dosbox.

Then after dling dosbox, I went through my computer to find the .exe without the start menu and decided to test it one more time in Windows and it worked... sort of. The only thing that isn't working about it is that the text boxes go to fast and don't give you enough time to read them. In the other installments you clicked when you were done reading a textbox.

So I then tried running it through dosbox and it still worked, but it was really choppy and the textboxes still went over just as fast.

Does anyone know why?? I already checked the options menu in game for text speed but their isn't any option.

The text speed issue is because the game is not finding the audio resource file. You have to play the game with the CD. In DOSBox, you must mount the CD. Be sure to play the DOS version as the Windows interpretor has a number of issues in XP. The best way to play the game is in DOSBox with the NewRisingSun patches.
