KQ5 & DosBox...glitch?

I've been playing KQ5 with DosBox for the past couple of days.  I got all the way to entering Mordack's bedroom before finding a problem...seems to be a graphics glitch of some kind.  As soon as I enter his bedroom, the graphics go all haywire on me.  I can walk {south} into his library, but the graphics are still whacked & it locks up completely.

I tried playing from here on through XP, but it tells me the game was saved under a different interpretor or something like that.

Anyone have any suggestions?  I'd really like to finish it, having gotten this far.

There are three patches available here, they might help.

That's strange, I've played all the King's Quests 1-6 on dosbox and had no problem whatsoever.   :\

I recall having a problem near the end of the game. I just kept trying over and over again until it worked.
