DSL Embedded :: error message



I downloaded dsl 3.0 to my hd.  When I double click dsl-windows ms-dos batch file everything appears to start fine, but then a get an error message.  The message reads "The instruction at 0x00471fd0 referenced memory at 0x00000034.  The memory could not be read."  I am new to this and have no idea what that means.  I really want to get dsl up and running.  Any help would be appreciated.
I'm experiencing a similiar issue.
Okay enter the qemu folder and right click on the qemu.exe
Click on compatibility options and change it to windows 9x.
Hit apply then try to launch the dsl-windows.bat
