Try increasing the cycles in DOSBox by pressing Ctrl f-12 (Ctrl f-11 to decrease) or set a higher cycles value in the DOSBox configuration file.

Generally speaking (since I haven't tried this particular game)
Could be a soundcard issue. Let's see if it is:

Make sure the game setup uses the same soundcard and parameters as in the DOSBox configuration.
Default is Soundblastr 16, addresse 220, irq 7, dma 1 hma 5

If you still have problems:
Set up the game for no sound whatsoever in the _games's_ setup, then try the game again.

If you get it to run now, try various settings for sound.

IMPORTANT: You will need to set up the soundcard according to your DOSBox configuration file. Change this first, then change the sound parameters in the game's setup.

Are you running it in DOSBox?

Hello

This issue has been already mentioned, there seems to be no answer however. Upon leaving the bedroom with fake book and movable grandfather clock you should go through the door to the library. I assume it is done with the key taken from the secret opening behind the clock. But no matter what I try the door remains locked. Back from when I played it for the first time I have vague memory that THAT was some sort of copy protection in the game (when you entered wrong symbols at the beginning the doors remained shut), but the game is supposed to be already cracked, so that should not be a problem.

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi all. I have Windows Vista and there doesnt seem to be any sound for this game. Can anyone help please?

And also - it says "select the items represented on page..XXX" at the start of the game. What is that about?
