Try setting 'fulldouble=true' (I think that was the line, anyway).

thanks, but that doesn't really help, I want the game to play in a window, but I want that window to be larger (I don't really want it full screen with all the black around it.

EDIT: does anyone have any indepth FAQ/help files on the dosbox config, like what is the output stuff? things like that. I think I might want the window resolution, but I am not sure that the output device supports it as it doesn't seem to be resizing the windo except for teh smallest amount

Oh. Sorry. Here's the DOSBox Wiki on the config file: Dosbox.conf

Switch output to ddraw and scaler to normal3x.

The surface output doesn't support a lot of things. That is why I recommend using overlay or ddraw instead.

Problem with GUS under dosbox0.72 is that dosbox doesn't come with all the needed GUS drivers and doesn't initialise GUS at start up. That's why you better stick with SB emulation.
SB emulation is nearly perfect in dosbox.

First possibility: disable GUS in dosbox.
Open dosboxconfig and look under header [GUS], change gus=true to gus=false, this will disable GUS autodetection and you will be able to select SB sound.

Second possibility if you absolutely want full GUS support:
http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=16974
Read and apply, this will give you a fully working GUS emulation under dosbox 0.72.
However, some games that can use GUS sound are sometimes nitpicking and this will cause those games to freeze, but it should work for 99% of the GUS supported games.
