okay. here's what you should try, to get it working:
forget dosbox or anything else.
install the abandonia version, then right-click on the blood.exe file. Click Properties.
Go in the Program tab and deselect the "close on exit" option.
Still in the Programs tab, click on Advanced.
From here, select "Compatible timer hardware emulation".
Close the Advanced window and go to the Memory tab.
Here, Enable "Protected" and "Uses HMA" modes, and for everything else (Conventional memory, EMS, XMS, DPMI), choose the maximum value instead of Auto.
Click Apply and close the window.
Now try running the exe. Because you deselected "close on exit", the black window will now stay open and have an error message saying why it still doesnt work... but it should work.
Oh, and one other question: have you messed around with the setup file? like change resolution, sound cards and stuff like that? If you did, i suggest uninstalling the game (that is, delete) and reinstalling to get the defaults.
