Hello,

setting fullscreen = true in dosbox.conf or manually using ALT+ENTER freezes dosbox. (0.61 on Windows XP)

I don't have any fancy stuff like double buffering or fixed mode enabled and it's not while running any program. Just plain DosBox.

Older version worked fine.

Whyssitdoingzis? 😕

I appreciate your work.

try fixed mode enabled.
it might be that your video card doesn't support the old dos resolutions.

well dosbox changes internally a lot each new version.
Maybe the next version will be able to switch to fullscreen at your pc.

New Dosbox user here.... so perhaps a stupid quesiton. What's fixed mode enabled? I'm basically having the same trouble, DosBox freezes when I switch to full screen from the prompt or Alt-Enter. I've got the current drivers... on a SiS 315 video.
If full screen doesn't work, how do I change the size of the window? And does anyone think downgrading will help with fullscreen for me also?

Thanks...
