DOSBox Error output: CPU_SetSegGeneral: stack segment zero

I am trying to run an old Clipper application. It works fine on Win 7 32bit, but when I try to use DOSBox 0.74, it crashes with the following error:

Exit to error: CPU_SetSegGeneral: Stack segment zero

Are there some settings that I forgot to set when starting DOSBox?

I need to be able to run this application in DOSBox, since it seems to be only a portable solution that will work on any Win 7, being 32 or 64-bit.

If no obvious solution is known for this problem, maybe you can tell me what alternatives I need to run with Clipper 5.3 in the 64-bit home version of Win 7?

EDIT: I tried this on Win 7 Home 64 bit with the same result. What can I do?

Wanting to close this question, I will write what was the only solution due to which I was able to run the old application on Win7 64bit.

It was a VMLite XP mode . I just followed the steps described in their manual and it worked and I copied my application to VMLite XP mode and it worked fine.

Finally, after some googling, I created a shortcut for my desktop, and now I can easily launch the application from my 64-bit Win7 desktop, which then eats VMLite XP Mode, which launches the application :) or something in that direction, so anyway, so far away, it works great.
