How do I DOS Box?

[Pixie-K]

I got this game called Syndicate Wars, made in the early/mid 90's from a junk shop, in pristine condition, for old time's sake. Unfortunately I cannot get it to run. the game just locks up and does nothing. I did the American thing and found a torrent of it, and even that won't work. The torrent at least makes it to the title screen, but there's no sound, and everything in in super-warp speed. I heard something about using a DOS Box, but wtf is it and how do I use it?

BTW I did play Syndicate Wars back when it was new, on a new Windows 95 PC, Hence the "For old time's sake"

Thanks for the website, I'll see what I can sort out of this
