After some checking, it looks like DOSBox 0.74 in general has issues with this game. Check if downgrading to 0.73 helps.

Any thoughts on the missing intro? I'm using the version from here on Abandonia but I seem to recall it missing from the ISO version I have stored away as well. Though that version I tried on a different machine running XP and shelved it to tinker with later. Now I'm on a new laptop with Windows 7 and I still can't play/view the first several minutes...
The intro is launched with a separate executable from the game. Inside the game directory there should be a holmes.bat file - run it in DOSBox. This was fairly common back then.
