Hello all. I didn't know where to post this, so forgive me if this isn't the proper place. Testing Nov, 4th DOSBox CVS build, i noticed colors in windowed mode are totally messed up. For instance, white text appears as blue. ??? Has anybody experienced this behaviour? Running on a GF4 Ti4200 under WinXP. Full screen modes are running properly, though. I have also noticed SDL.DLL is a lot bigger.

It happened to me once. But after change to full screen and back to windowed mode - it is ok now. I got Radeon 9000Pro here - Catalysts ver 3.7

It happens. It's happened to me frequently using the same card as you El_pusher. It's just something to deal with i guess. I do what Xerxes does. That's all i know.

Nope. Going to full-screen and then windowed-mode doesn't fix it. Thanks for your replies anyway. I usually play at full-screen.

Try Cat3.8.

Yes, it’s my fault.

Yes, it’s my fault.

I think waiting for the next CVS release is easier. Tested later dets and they gave me lots of problems, mainly in games, where they got out of frequency. Besides, i find them worse performers. Went back to the previous release and haven't had any important issues. Your suggestions are welcome, anyway.

The new cvs's come out every few days anyway. So generally if something gets broken in one cvs, it`ll be fixed in the next.
