First things first, thank you for DosBox. Long live all those great old games. Now, my problem is that as I'm playing Panzer General 1.0 Win 95 using DosBox v.60 (same problem w/v.063) the game will minimize to the Task Bar. I'll restore to full screen but the mouse won't work so I go out of full screen and back and the game is fine again till the same thing happens. I'm running a Pentium 4 1.8Ghz, WinXP, 256 RAM, 64MB NVIDIA GeForce2 Card. I was so proud of myself because I fixed the sound but now this irratating problem has arisen. I've shutdown all other processes including anti-virus, but the problem persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Happy Holidays! SB644.

Are you by chance pressing Alt-Esc? That's the windows shortcut to minimize the window.

Mouse should work when you press Ctrl-F10.

I'm not hitting the Alt-Esc but thanks for the tip for the mouse. I'm really puzzled on this one. It's weird.
