Does anybody know how to increase the gamespeed within dosbox? I have windows 7 and cannot play colonization so have to use this. When I had xp it ran really quickly and I can't stand how slow it seems now.

There are a series of DosBox guides on this site:
http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewforum.php?f=39
- and this is from one of them:
STEP 3 - Performance
Yay, you've gotten your game to run! But maybe you're experiencing slowdown? How do you fix this? With the following commands:
CTRL + F7 = Decreases frameskip
CTRL + F8 = Increases Frameskip
CTRL + F11 = Slows down the game
CTRL + F12 = Speeds up the game
Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to open the Task Manager, and click the Performance tab. Start by pressing CTRL + F12 until your CPU Usage level begins to go above 95%. After that, if you still need a performance boost, hit CTRL + F8 to have DOSBox not render some frames. The console window will display all of the changes you've made, and the top of the game window will display the current settings. Adjust these settings as needed until your game goes smoothly. Please keep in mind that not all games will run smoothly on DOSBox.
Good Luck
