well what comes to my mind is that you managed to get wrong ripped version or something. mine is for example 64 504 985 bytes in size. is your smaller?

also don't forget to use latest dosbox 0.72 (that one works for me and i have tried every core settings) and set proper sound card in install.exe, misconfigured sound can freeze a game as well

You can run the install program even after the initial installation to reconfigure the sound. (see page 4 of install guide). Run it from within DOSBox. It will allow you to test your settings from the config program. Make sure you select the same config that DOSBox is set to (typically standard Soundblaster settings IRQ=7 DMA=1 Base=220 ).

What video adapter card do you use? I know that DOSBox had a problem with VESA drivers in the earlier releases but I think that issue is solved in 7.1 and after. Just make sure your video card supports the VBE (VESA BIOS extensions) standards. This game requires it. As a long shot try running the UNIVBE program from the game directory before you start the game.

Also when you run the install program it lets you set the screen resolution you want to use. What did you select?

EDIT: Actually the more I check into it it looks like running the UNIVBE program may take care of your problem. It will load a VESA driver for you.
