This will seem weird, but I am running this game using DOSBox in Windows 8. The game itself is functioning normally, but when I want to create a character it will not let me leave that screen (ESC just produces a "click" sound) and the only thing I can do is close the game, which would be annoying but acceptable if it retained the newly created character; however, it does not, and so I cannot create any new characters. There were some on the "disk" but only two are available and two others recoverable because they were "out". Any clues, or is this a Windows 8 problem?
