Try changing the graphics mode from overlay to something else, like directdraw or d3d.
Has anyone a Solution for this Problem?
Changing the Machine-Type / Videoutput etc doesn't work...
Check the stickied post. Solution should be there.
IIRC you may need to edit the UW CFG file.
The Thread you're meaning (I guess) does only cope with Soundcard-Configurations.
I have Sound but just get a black Screen during the Intro of Underworld 1.
What does your configuration look like? GPU settings, Dosbox settings, monitor, etc.

Well, even if this may sound stupid: The beginning of the intro is all black. You'll have to wait to the "With a sickening sense of deja-vu, you begin to dream" part, to actually see anything. Did you wait that long?

Haha, damn! I've never would have realised that, never "seen" an Intro like that. (facepalm)
Good thing we checked the basics, then. ;-)
