I installed DOS Box 0.74 on Windows 7. It starts, but the main screen remains blank with no command line whatsoever (only the header stating CPU Speed 3000 cycles, Frameskip 0). Can you help me, please? 😖

Hey Ziggy,
well I'm not sure if I write crap now but maybe you have to change your output method. A friend of mine had the same problem a few days ago when he installed Dosbox-0.74 and after he had changed the output from "surface" to "ddraw" all was great.

I really hope I don't talk shit with these infos and that it will help you.
til next time 😀
