"Digitized sounds are not available in Enhanced Mode due to the nature of preemtive multitasking.Use Standard Mode to allow for digitized sounds"

Use the compatibility options (right-click the executable -> Properties -> Compatibility). Set the compatibility mode to Windows 95.

If that fails, check the manual or readme on how to start the game in Standard Mode.

sounds like a game designed for windows 3.x
I think you should be happy that it runs at all.
for all windows above 3.x enhanced mode is the only and default mode

In that case, use Microsoft Virtual PC running Windows 3.x. VPC is freeware, and can be downloaded from Microsoft.

Tested BC in dosbox0.72+win3.0.
For enabling sound start win3.0 with 'win /s'.
Works then with ' digitalized' sounds.

But honnestly said, if you haven't setup dosbox+win3.0 yet for something else, don't bother, the sound is something as a broom sweeping over sandpaper when the pieces are moving ...... :tai:
Don't bother , really.

-> WfW won't do it, doesn't do the '/s' switch.
-> Won't run in win2.x.

That's 'bout it.

I never did get the sounds to work either although I gave up quite quickly and could not be bothered to install win 3.11

it was wierd though without any sounds it just didn't seem the same as I used to play it quite heavily about 8-9 years ago ( not winning very often though )
