i don't know but it started working for me after i ran sound setup, maybe cuase it didn't initialise mouse before? or i don't know
so run SOUND.exe
then pick option 2 sound cards, choose roland for music (should be the only option if you havn't changed default dosbox config) and for sound pick sound blaster 16, leave everything detect automatically and save

then run fantasy.exe
