BubbaJake -- you accidentally double posted, so I'm deleting one post.
I just downloaded The Pandora Directive from GOG. It's playing very smoothly, with only a slight sound stuttering during the opening video sequence.
becky,
just a hint if you have any sound problems while playing the game edit the dosboxtex4.config file & edit the mixer sound details to
[mixer]
# nosound -- Enable silent mode, sound is still emulated though.
# rate -- Mixer sample rate, setting any devices higher than this will
# probably lower their sound quality.
# blocksize -- Mixer block size, larger blocks might help sound stuttering
# but sound will also be more lagged.
# prebuffer -- How many milliseconds of data to keep on top of the blocksize.
nosound=false
rate=22050
blocksize=2048
prebuffer=240 change this line it actually stops the improves the sound
