That's what I meant. 
W2k is not known to have great DOS support.

Does DosBox crash? Or doesn't the game start?
Have you tried typing "terror.com" instead of just "terror"? It's stupid,
but it sometimes helps. Have you made sure your sound settings are correct?

You're welcome.
One thing you might try is to pick up an old 486 or pentium 1 and installing
DOS on it. I stil run a DOS machine (multibooted with W98) on a 100MHz
computer, and it runs both quite well. They are dirt cheap nowadays.
