Any suggestions anyone?

Are you doing a fresh install from the 3 install disks? According to the reference card a version of windows (must be a very early version) will be installed when you load from the setup disk (disk one). Could be that DOSBox has a hard time with that. Maybe it would run under 3.x. I can email you the documentation but don't put your email address here. You can PM me if you want them.
