Shouldn't this thread be on the Technical Problems forum?
Anyways, it is frequently stated on this site that there is no such thing as abandonware. So you are probably using an illegal copy!
In general you need to "mount" your drive in dosbox before you can start a program. To do that you need to use the commandline. The command is called mount. You can get help on the command by typing: mount ?
If for example you have Tex Murphy: Mean Streets from GOG (which is FREE and LEGAL) on your harddrive in the location C: \Games\MeanStr\MS.exe then you first have to mount the location:
MOUNT C: C: \Games
Then goto the now mounted C-drive by typing C: and enter.
Now navigate to the directory using the CD (change directory) command: CD MEANSTR
And start the game with: MS.EXE
Dosbox automatically emulates a soundblaster compatible soundcard. Most programs need to be configurated using a command in the game-directory, mostly called setup.exe or install.exe.
