Upgraded movies only exists for WC4 and WCP... that might be your problem ?
Does your joystick work fine in other, non DosBox, games? I think DosBox uses the windows joystick config. Though I do know WC3 has its own calibration. When you run it make sure you push the joystick to the extremes for top left and bottom right. I also remember the center being annoying in the past as my joystick had a bit of a "wiggle" when rested.
Thanks! I'm not sure which switch fixed it, but I turned on all the usual compatibility settings (Win 95 mode, disable desktop composition, run as administrator, etc.), and it worked. Not sure why I didn't think to check that before, guess it didn't cross my mind that even though it's a more modern version of the game than what GoG gives out of the box, it's still an "upgrade" from a DOS game to a Windows 95 one.
There's also some third party software that can make the change -- the option still exists in Windows, there's just no built in menu option that toggles it. I use a software synth for general midi (very useful for games that, while still old, are more from the SC-55's day than the MT-32's) that has a pull down menu that lets you choose which midi device you want both as the global setting and for the Windows Media Player default, which lists all of the ones you have installed, not just itself and the Windows synth. It's called Coolsoft Virtual Midi Synth, and it's a free download.
,so just download it seperatly from the first post link .
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
This is more or less known: i don't see any kind of flash in my machine, but i do hear a beep when accessing the nav map or options (ALT+O). In my experience, however, this only starts happening once you return to the game after ALT+TAB'ing away to some other program. Does this happen all the time for you?
