Hi there.
I wonder if anyone encountered a problem that I had. In certain moments during the game (i.e. when you acquire an item from dungeon or when certain event occurs) the game freezes but the player is able to move the cursor. The in-game buttons do not respond to clicking. This happens both while MoM is working under DosBox and WindowsXP with VDMSound. I can't find a way to fix that.

Does it help if you increase the CPU cycles in DosBox with CTRL+F12 to 24000?

Hi, Scatty.
I always use cycles set to max for maximum efficiency. The problem happens on my Toshiba laptop, a quite old piece of machinery I must say (celeron). I'll try to wait over this 'semi-lock-up', maybe it's just a matter of time.
This problem didn't yet occurred on my desktop rig.

PS. I didn't mention it before but I tried to manipulate with CPU Core settings by trying the Normal core instead of Dynamic - with no effect. I don't quite think that it could be a problem of DosBox settings because, as I have written before, it occurs also when MoM is launched under XP with VDMS.

Maybe you have a corrupt copy of the game. Did you download it from Abandonia?
