I am having some strange problems trying to get my dosbox to play in full screen. Dosbox runs normally in windowed form, but when I switch to fullscreen I get a black screen and the program freezes. I have a SIS 650 video card w/ 32mb memory. It worked fine in .60, but I imagine the problem is with all of the new additions to dosbox. Please help.

I had some similair problems with mine sis m650 (black screens lock ups etc)
First of all update to the latest video drivers http://www.sis.com. If that doesn't work, maybe it's a Dosbox issue....then you should download the latest CVS Build.

I have the same problem myself, a friend of mine mentiened it, too.

The problem only appears when dosbox or the game are loading: switching to fillscreen mode while dosbox switches to another resolution for the game seems to cause the problem (tested on Win2k and WinXP).
