Hi.

Yesterday my Dosbox bricked. I've been running it for a week with no problems. Yesterday I was running Piranha, Dosbox died (as in it just closed both windows with no error messages. Last time the game crashed I did get a looong string of errors in the status window). I then played a bit of Rob Blanc 3 with no problems. Tried Piranha again, but this time I got the following error message:

I ran the setup but it will not give me an option to choose any sound, nor run the game at all, it just does a pc speaker beep when I select it, and stays on the setup screen.

The thing is now games that were working fine are now not loading at all.

Rob Blanc 3 which had been working fine 10 minutes before:

Commander Keen:

Nothing will load anymore -- the only exceptions being the first 2 Rob Blanc games which are running okay.

I've tried resetting the config, changing config according to instructions in the readme under heading "Running a certain game closes DOSBox, crashes with some message or hangs", changing sound to spbro1, setting nosound to true, uninstalling and doing a clean install of both Dosbox and Piranha, rebooting, cleaning my registry with CCleaner, disabling the antivirus, clearing any read-only attributes, running as admin, running from the exe rather than the shortcut, and I'm getting the same errors. Uninstalled and reinstalled again this time in c:\dosbox with games in c:\dosgames, same errors. Windows says my drivers are up-to-date and everything else works fine. I haven't made any system changes. I wondered if it was the last Windows update screwing something up, but then I was able to run two games since then, so I don't think that's it. Just after I played Rob Blanc 3, bam, everything dead. I'm running the latest version 0.74. There are no error messages in the status window.

Is this fixable?
