Q: The sound stutters or sounds stretched/weird.
A: You're using too much CPU power to keep DOSBox running at the current speed.
You can lower the cycles, skip frames or get a faster machine.
You can also increase the prebuffer in the configfile.
You can lower the cycles, skip frames, reduce the sampling rate of
the respective sound device (see the DOSBox configuration file) or
the mixer device. You can also increase the prebuffer in the configfile.
If you are using cycles=max or =auto, then make sure that there no
background processes interfering! (especially if they access the harddisk)

try lowering the cycles.
Q: The cursor always moves into one direction!
A: See if it still happens if you disable the joystick emulation,
set joysticktype=none in the [joystick] section of your DOSBox
configuration file. Maybe also try unplugging any joystick.
If you want to use the joystick in the game, try setting timed=false
and be sure to calibrate the joystick (both in your OS as well as
in the game or the game's setup).
Q: The game/application can't find its CD-ROM.
A: Be sure to mount the CD-ROM with -t cdrom switch, this will enable the
MSCDEX interface required by DOS games to interface with CD-ROMs.
