Right, I had to reformat the other day (the girlfriend managed to get a load of spyware on the pc and spybot couldn't get rid of it). I use Norton Ghost do all I had to do was reinstall my backup, then I reinstalled dosbox 0.63 and the original version D-Fend (not v2) and its fine! All of the …

they were recent a while ago. I usually update within 2 months (and thats at a push) I have haven't updated them recently because to be quite honest it becomes a pain in the arse updating them every three - four days!!! (exagerated I know but come on how often do new drivers come out... They're like …

well I ran 3dmark continuously last night and checked in on it this morning and there was no failure at any level. I'm fairly certain that there are no hardware defects. If there are how can I tell?? Plus my pc is fine when running everything else. All my other games are fine, my digital media …

why replace the drivers?? Dosbox has been running fine until a couple of days ago, on the drivers I currently have installed. I will see if there are any new updates for the gfx card but I'm not sure if it will have any effect. Also I've managed to narrow down a few things : if I run dosbox with the …

I have not modified dosbox in any way whatsoever (I wouldn't know where to start) I'm using 0.65 at the mo it doesn't happen so often with this one. However all the versions of dosbox i've tried never used to do it but they do now. I'm tempted to say that its a driver issue except that dosbox has …

there are no virus or spyware that my software can detect, the temps are fine mobo=36'c and cpu is at 44'c. nothing is oced so everything should be fine. ran 3dmark earlier and everything was fine. which means that it must be OS/Dosbox or drivers as has allready been stated in the thread somewhere. …

Thanks for the help the problem appears to be sorted for the time being. Please leave the Thread open however as I may need to get back to …

OK just fired up D-Fend and ran eob2. A minute or two into the game the screen corrupted, I minimized and checked how to take a screenshot with the intention of posting it, then went back into the game and the game screen was fine!!!! Dodgy or what??

it only occurs inside dosbox. Everything else is fine all my other games run fine no graphical errors at all. Plus I don't think I need worry about stress testing my gfx card... I played oblivion the other night for 8 hours solid and no problems (and if anyone turns round and says that oblivion is …

I have tried changing all that and still the same problem. It happens on all the games I am trying to run at the mo (syndicate, eob 1+2,Dune) but as I said it only happens some of the time. None of my drivers have changed since the last time I updated them (about 2 weeks ago) and dosbox was working …

Yes I run a few other games at the moment: Call of Duty 2 Quake 4 Oblivion Call of Cthulhu I don't think that the problem lies in a defect with my gfx card! Its only 3 months old!!

Right I've been using dosbox for a while now and the only problems I've had with it before was down to compatability issues with whatever game I was trying to run (bummer yes but expected). However recently I have been experiencing graphical errors when running games thru dosbox. The game will run …
