I've been using dosbox for a long time and never really had any problems with the application itself. I recently started playing the PC game Darklands and it has been crashing frequently. Oh well, this game was notorious for bad programming, I'll just have to save often. But the thing is, whenever it crashes, dosbox stops responding in Windows 8.1. So we have all the problems of a nonresponsive program, can't select it in Windows, trouble killing it, etc. In fact, when dosbox is in fullscreen mode, the graphics mode takes over Windows and the mouse cursor disappears.
Is this usually what happens when a game crashes? Or is dosbox actually crashing and not Darklands.EXE?
