Hey! Come on! Nobody wants to help me? 😢

I am sure plenty of people wants to help you, but they just don't know how.

Now, if you started to tell us what hardware you have, what software you use, what versions, what you have already checked, etc, then perhaps someone will be able to suggest something.

Ok, here i go:
- HIS - P5MPV3-B2 motherboard
- AMK K6 400 mHz
- 64 MB SDRAM
- Intel 740 8 MB RAM
- Aztech ADS7181 sound system
- Win98SE Polish ver
- Ufo: Enemy Unknown ver 1.0
- Problem is when i try to run DosBox it freezes completely just after the start. I tried to change config, even unistalled and reinstalled it again but it does nothing. Just freezes every time when i try to run it.
- Yesterday everything was fine and today see abowe. Maybe tomorrow everything will be ok. 😕
- Sound mode - Soundblaster
- Video mode - Direct 3D
- DosBox 0.61
- I reinstalled it but it still freezes.

I hope that someone can solve this mystery.

well does it only happen with dosbox or also if you use other cpu intensive programs ? If it happends only at startup that would indicate a video driver/card problem.

Mysteriously DosBox is running again. 😕 Earlier it freezed no matter i was running only DosBox or with other programs.
Now when i write that post i have opened 2 windows with IE and all programs running usually in the background.

Hey, I'm having a similar problem lately. DOSBox is always causing my Win98 SE to blue screen... The strange thing is it used to work. I can't remember doing any updates in my system, that could cause this... Annoying!

I'm back!

For me:
- Pentium III 600 mHz
- 256 MB RAM
- Win98SE
- Sound Blaster Live Value!
- NVidia - GeForce

As I can see, the problem occurs only on Windows 98SE. And what about Kernel32.dll, what's that file?

The problem still occur sometimes and that's annoying! I must always restart my computer!

Maybe you'll tell me: "Use Dosbox 0.63". But the game I'm currently playing works best on Dosbox 0.61!

Please help me! 😢

> Maybe you'll tell me: "Use Dosbox 0.63". But the game I'm currently playing works best on Dosbox 0.61!

So what? Right now, I have 6 different DOSBox'es installed:

H:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.60
H:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.61
H:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.62
H:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.63
H:\Program Files\DOSBox-debug-0.63
H:\Program Files\DOSBox-CVS

so I can try different versions with different games.

Like me:

Dosbox 0.58
Dosbox 0.60
Dosbox 0.61
Dosbox 0.62
Dosbox 0.63

Dosbox 0.63 Debug? Dosbox CVS? What's these versions?

Anyway, do you know what could I do to resolve this?

debug is the debug built of course 😀 (not needed for mortals)
CVS means that in that dir is either the current source code from CVS or a built based on current CVS.
I always try to run current CVS (with the multiple joystick profiles patch) but only if I'm not to clumsy to build it again...

What is the exact blue-screen error?

I don't get a blue screen. Sometimes it works, sometimes I get a white window with an error about the file Kernel32.dll. Then, right after, I can't open anything because it tells me that I don't have enough memory. I must restart my computer manually.

Nobody knows? Please!!! 😢

Bleh, Win98SE. Try killing everything but Explorer and Systray. If that makes it work, then some other program you had running was eating all your RAM.

I tried using it on Windows XP and it works fine.

So, as I can see, Dosbox 0.61 doesn't work well on Win98SE. That's stupid! This is the only one that doesn't work on Win 98SE! Why THIS one?

It is possible to get a patch for this?

Yeah, it's called Windows NT4/2K/XP/2003/Linux/OSX/OS/2.....anything but 9x. heh.

It might be a good idea to tell us what game your trying to play so that it can be made to work well with DosBox 0.63+.

You can find out about CVS builds in the DOSBox Development forum.
