Hello! New day - new challenge:

I'm trying to set up an authentic, 100% clean DOSBox-Win 3.1 with lots of apps, avi- and mpeg-video etc. = everything that was or became popular until +/-1995, limited to 16bit. This includes several DOSes, what leads to my question:

EGA or VGA full-screen DOSes arn't really beautiful, thus I want to run them in a window. No matter what settings I try in pif-manager, I end up with a crashed 3.1, showing a disorted screen and the cut-off error-message "this app can't run in a wi..."

My prefered Win resolution is 1024x768, i've tried 256 colours (Tseng ET4000) and 64K (vesa_nolfb S3 SVGA).

If I remember right, my "real" 3.1, back in 199x, behaved all the same way, but that was with less = 1MB or so video RAM. Maybe there is some simple DOSBox setting I haven't thougt of...?
