Everytime I'm playing a game with DosBox and push Alt-Enter to go into fullscreen, the game crashes. Though I can still play the games, it can get frustrating after a while with just the little screen. Any ideas? :crazy:

How about editing the dosbox.conf file (open it with notepad etc) with the following:

Find fullscreen=false change it to fullscreen=true

That way it should always start in fullscreen and hopefully not freeze... k:

I sometime encounter that error too but DOSBox only stop working and I return to the desktop. Rebooting my machine always solve this problem.

I get that error with other games too...
