I am not using the DOSbox but rather used Ice's suggestion of installing it directly into windows and using the built in emulator. By what I have found on it, most people who have done it this way have no problems but there are a few exceptions but they didn't post what they did, if they did, to fix it. I am using OfficeXP (don't ask why) if that means anything.

Yeah, definitely if the built-in compatibility mode works, use it first. DOSBox and the like are for when that fails. My XCOM-2, for example, works a little bit in compatibility mode but perfectly under DOSBox.

Glad you got ES working!

I had some problems with Sound on Total Annihilation until I installed DirectX 9.0b. Since then no problems!

I have downloaded the latest DirectX drivers and ended having to turn the sound off to get the game running great. Been having fun blowing the Cybrids legs off in a little HERC. I will look into installing X-com this weekend.
