Start with my system specs:

Intel core 2 duo processor T5450 1.66ghz dual core
2gb ram
windows vista 32 bit home premium service pack 2
358mb mobile intel graphic media accelerator x3100

My problem is i have been using DOSbox for about 2 months no problem when suddenly today if i try to go into fullscreen DOSbox just goes black then in about 5 seconds just closes completely.

what could be causing this and how could i fix it?

Try a different output than surface?

openglhq can also do a fullscreen crash on some video chipsets too.

Give me an example of something to type to replace surface? and why would it work before and not now?

Vista...

Do you have automatic updates running?

Check the history and see if something got installed recently...

Also post your DOSBox config file, maybe we spot something and have a suggestion...

Now this is not specific to your situation, but these are the settings I always recommend when people ask about aspect ratio, letter boxing, resolution or whatever.

Try these and maybe it fixes your issues as well!

fullscreen=true
fullresolution=0x0
scaler=normal2x
output=openglnb
aspect=true
