What version of DOSBox are you running? I remember this happening with old versions - make sure you're using either 0.63 or a recent CVS build.

I'm working with 0.63 Version. This problem don't happend with older version (with 0.58 to 0.62 versions DOS Box close perfect all windows).

Thanks.

Excuse-me. The link with the specications for my Notebook does'nt works. Here you are a pdf...

My configuration has 1 Gb RAM and 1,5 Sonoma Pentium M Processor.

try swapping SDL.dLL between version

How do you close dosbox ?
ctrl-f9
typing exit
clicking the X on the right top

Thanks for your answer.

I've tryed to close the DOS Box windows with EXIT command and with CTRL+F9 and hapends the same problem: The second window (the first main DOS Box Windows) remains opened.

I've also tried to change the SDL.dll file for one older (version 0.62 for example), and the problem continues.

Do you need more information to find the problem? Thanks again.

Eloy.

im getting it too.. bog standard 0.63.
the console window CMD.EXE window (with a break issued during a batch process stays open after any of these "-c exit" ctrl-f9 click [X]

Try adding a -noconsole parameter to the shortcut that launches DOSbox and see what happens.

-noconsole seems to have fixed it.
every other way either leaves a CMD window or leaves dosbox resident & con only be terminated thru task manager.

cheers

0.62 does not behave like that - it works as expected.

BTW windows = xp pro sp2
