i've been using d-fend reloaded for quite some time now but after my latest reinstall of windows dosbox crashes instantly when ever i try to run it through d-fend. dosbox works fine on its own but any time i try to load it through d-fend, either directly or when starting a game or setup, it crashes instantly with no feedback on how or why. can anyone assist me in figuring out how/why it's crashing and how to fix this? using windows 10.

SDL videodriver was trying to use Direct-x by default and was instantly crashing under windows 10 pro, changing to Win DIB resolved issue though not sure why direct-x would not work.
