I tried to fix it changing options in .txt file but it doesn't work. I think that something is wrong with my DOSBOX and I need to download something new. So the size of the DOSBOX window is the biggest problem. Next problem is how to turn the PC speaker volume down because when I was playing very old games PC speaker was so annoying that I couldn't play longer than 5 minutes  .
I am waiting for your help!
Thanks

Welcome to abandonia, Jack!
DOSBox should emulate the PC Speaker, and play the sound through your normal computer speakers, rather than the actual PC Speaker. If you don't like the sound, simply turn off your speakers or turn them down.
Unless, of course, you're referring to the "DOS box" opened normally by Windows when you double-click the application file. If that is what you are referring to by DOSBOX, you have a problem. The actual DOSBox can be found at
www.dosbox.com.
Also, if you're having trouble running a game from Abandonia, check the review that is on the game's page. At the bottom, sometimes there will be a message like "To run this program in DOSBox, ........" and will include specific parameters to edit in your dosbox.conf file.
