on many machines (all windows 7) I have noticed that dosbox doesn't like to return from a locked screen.
it stutters (sound and graphics) for several minutes. sometimes it recovers, sometimes not.
I tried changing the cpu priority of dosbox and the io priority without success.
I changed the output mode without success. the only way I have found to make dosbox work
reliably after pausing the game (esc) and minimizing (ctrl+enter) and locking my keyboard
is to have process explorer running and suspending the process after pausing and minimizing.
it has never failed, but it seems a lot of hassle. can anyone show me a better way?

I just realized that it might be a conflict with windows display conventions such as
with old blizzard games. does killing explorer and starting a game using a batch script
work better?

killing explorer doesn't work.
