Hi Josh, Honestly, I'm not surprised. The only way I have ever managed to run any old Dos applications etc the last few years is by using Dosemu with Speakup. It isn't a perfect solution, but it does work. I have managed to play some games and run certain apps like Wordperfect 5.1 with Speakup. However, that requires a Linux distribution like Vinux, Ubuntu, or some other distribution with Speakup, Espeakup, and Dosemu. Otherwise I don't think you are going to find a better solution for running old Dos games and apps. I've already tried running copies of Jaws for Dos etc in Dosbox before all to no success.
Cheers!
