That's better (; . Can't help with the actual problem, but let's try to establish some more info and isolate the issue. First: what type of machine are you using, a notebook by any chance? Which OS are you on? Do you see the problem right after starting DOSBox, or after launching a (specific?) game? …

Yes: don't post links to illegal downloads (or links to pages linking to illegal downloads) here. There are good reasons for this policy, search VOGONS for "abandonware" to find out more. Ask where you've downloaded the illegal files, or ask the "specialist" who wrote the "guide".

RTFM. Twice. 1. DOSBox is primarily a game emulator. It's not supposed to be used for "productive work", so clipboard support is very low on the priorities list, if it's on the list at all. As DOSBox is Open Source, you could probably add the functionality yourself if you really need it, or devise a …

If the games contain Kickstart images they're clearly in the Warez/Abandonware category. In addition to that, I don't think the OP (or the website maintainer) has the legal rights do distribute the games. Therefore, all links in this thread and in the OPs signature should be removed - like all links …

Heheheee... Just because they are from 2004 and on Sun, doesn't make it any less valid. Unless you can explain why? Well, vastly different (and ancient!) hardware and OS architectures, for starters.

Mau1wurf1977, don't you think it's about time to stop at this point? A "benchmark comparison" from 2004, done on a Sun machine (sporting a whopping 256MB of RAM) running Solaris is not exactly what I would call good argumentation material in the context of this thread (; .

Think about it... I don't have to, because I've upgraded to a SSD along with the RAM upgrade (; . A few milliseconds more or less are irrelevant. Both browser versions start up almost instantly, and once you've opened IE some components are probably cached by the OS, so subsequent launches will be …

On a modern machine (=x64-capable CPU), just use a 64-bit OS. 1 or 2GB of RAM doesn't cut it anymore, if you're actually doing work on your machines you'll appreciate 4 or even 8GB of RAM. I've recently upgraded by notebook from 4GB to 8GB, and the 8GB cost me € 100,- (even less when I can sell the …

I like Rich's "internal versioning scheme" - clean and simple. Holds lots of numbers for the minor revision, major revision can easily be updated if/when a new BASSMIDI driver is released (and implemented). Current BASSMIDI driver: 1.06, 1.07, ... 1.11, 1.12 New BASSMIDI driver: 2.01, 2.02, ... 2.11 …

Not sure what exactly you're after, but you could try TrackWinstall. It's not a sandbox-type program, but rather analyzes the system (dirs/files/registry, paths can be configured, by date and/or md5) before and after a program has been installed (or at whichever time you start it), and outputs a …

Hmmm, it's been a while since I've played the BNE. I'm pretty sure though it's not using MIDI, but "streamed" music. I bet the music is close to or identical to the CDDA of the original WCII. The quality of the MIDI soundtrack depends on which soundfont you're using. I guess Blizzard didn't really …

No, we don't need a tutorial. DOSBox doesn't need DOS, which is one of its major advantages. Downloaded MS-DOS images aren't supported anyway because they are illegal. If you want to see a tutorial, go ahead and write one.
