I recently downloaded these games and imagine they're probably configured to run on new systems with dosbox. SO that might be why this is happening....

You're experiencing the typical problem of running DOS games under Windows. That was never the best solution, even in the days of W95.

Also, This machine is so old it doesn't have soundblaster and will only play the music with "ADLIB" in Duke3D, Anyone know how i can get duke talking and the sound of guns blasting with out opening up the insides of this old piece of junk????

I sincerely doubt you haven't got a soundblaster-compatible soundcard there. And I really doubt you've got an Adlib there either.
If you're running a DOS game under Windows, the digitized sound often won't work, but General Midi will - as "Adlib".
Do you know what exact soundcard you have installed in your PC?
Can your Windows play Wave (*.WAV) files?
