I'm currently having a problem when playing Hocus Pocus (Registered version 1.1) on DOSBox version .73.

When I play the game (both full screen and non) at a random time my entire screen will flip 270 degrees with the screen resolution at 640x380 (or around that) and the colour quality at 8bit. This problem only occurs when I play that game and version. I looked everywhere I could to see if there was a solution to this problem, but there doesn't seem to be one.
I normally have the game's settings set to no SFX and Sound Blaster for music

Here is my computer specs if needed, sorry in advanced if this isn't helpful:

I use a Windows XP.

That may be the WinXP shortcut to rotating the screen, since Hocus's commands are ctrl, alt, and the arrows (IIRC). Maybe try remapping the controls to different keys other than ctrl/alt, and see if it still happens (You can do this ingame or with DOSBox's keymapper)
