If you're trying to run the Windows version of BC that you can get off of this site, you're SOL. The Windows version can't run with sound. It has something to do with the fact that it was made for Windows 3.1, and needs something that XP doesn't appear to have.
Not exactly. If you set up a separate directory for DOSBox to use as its C drive, you can install Windows 3.11 in DOSBox. At least in theory - didn't try it myself yet.
WARNING: DON'T DO THAT IF YOU MOUNTED YOUR SYSTEM PARTITION AS C DRIVE IN DOSBOX.
Otherwise you'll totally screw up your installed copy of Windows.
