There are some pro and contras using that method, for my personal taste it's ok, and it gives me max compatibility towards games, decide for yourself what you want.

I changed to this driver hardly 30 mins ago...Before that i was running windows 3.11 on S3 864 1.41B5 800x600 32K colors Small Fonts.
seems like no problem with the drivers or may be problem with all of the listed drivers.
Search the differences.
@800x600 256 colors the burden on the CPU is much lesser then 800x600 64K/32K colors.

in dosbox conf 'windowresolution' is set to 1024x768 so dosbox stretches the 800x600 to a 1024x768 window.
Great advantage: you get a 1024x768 window but W3 is running@800x600 256, much lesser impact on the CPU.
Notice: that is the windowresolution that dosbox will give you, NOT windowsresolution.
Whilst the aspect ratio stays on a normal 4:3, no distorted view.

Also: what's all that crap running on the background?

I get the feeling I (and others) keep repeating ourselfs over and over, you seems to have a hard time reading what we tell you.
