When I run Ocean Trader my processor immediately starts to run at 100% and continues to do so when i play. This makes my computer overheated, which finally causes it to switch off. How can I avoid this? I am using Windows XP pro, a 2.66 ghz processor on a portable computer. Thankful for any help regarding this, I really like the game!

I'm also running it on a laptop, and all these games are using 100% of my CPU. You should have a look at your fan, check if it's still working, not too dusty, etc. Even a few hours at 100% shouldn't cause your laptop to overheat.
You can always try lowering the number of CPU cycles in Dosbox and skipping a few frames as well, but I'm not sure if this can lower your CPU usage to below 100%.
