Hallo everyone, I have a problem: I just downloaded version 0.73, and insalled it on my Vista Ultimate 64 pc.
Now, I used to play with DosBox on my old Xp pc, and I had no problems: now, the games load and start correctly, but when I click inside the DB window to lockin the mouse, the cursor moves suddenly to the top-left corner, and stays there until I do Ctrl-F10 or shut down DB.
What can I do to play my old games using mouse in Vista, too?
Thanx to everyone

Is it happening on windowed modes or fullscreen?

only in windowed mode.. but in fullscreen it's very hard to play, because the game slows down so much.. (at the moment, I'm trying with Panzer General)
by the way, do you know why the mouse gets stuck in window mode?

Try joysticktype=none in the config file

1+1=10

just tried, still nothing..
only two times, in 2 hours, I was able to use the mouse in window mode, and in both situations I switched to fullscreen and again to window a couple of times and finally the cursor started to work properly..
but then, after re-switching to fullscreen, it was stuck again..
some ideas to what could be the reason of this??
