Ok now im having some problems, openglnb seemed to be the one that works and got rid of the SDL lock crash, but now, for some reason, my monitor degauses itself like every minute. This cant be good, cause a monitor should wait at least 20 minutes between degausing intervals.

Whats up with this, how can i fix it!!??

I have no idea.
Dosbox uses the SDL library for outputting it graphics.
Maybe they know what's going on.

I think i fixed it, plus i actually got Pinball Fantasies to work good! It's all about fiddliing around with settings untill it works well.

I have been wanting to play Lemmings and Pinball Fantasies for ever! I could not even get them to work in Windows 98 cause they ran in REAL mode (100% DOS), and i never seemed to get them to work with sound, but DOSbox makes it all happen!

Im am now a beliver in DOSbox, I hated Windows XP's built in DOS emulator, and im glad to see all the hard work you guys put in to dosbox, it has definitely paid off, for me at least! Keep up the good work.
