Hi, I hope that someone would be able to help me. I have bought a new laptop with W10 installed. I've downloaded the latest version of Dosbox and when I launch it, I have a black screen where I can't tape the mount directory, I can see nothing and the game seems to start but here too I can't see anything

here is a screencap of the problem:

See ya and thanks very much

Open your DOSBox.conf (most easily done with the "DOSBox 0.74 Options" shortcut that should be in your Start menu if you used the installer) and change the "output=" line to "output=opengl" or "output=openglnb". That will probably fix it.

Thank you very much for your quick answer, I changed the output line which was "output=surface" to "output=opengl" it seems to work! Thank you very much!
