I have a fast comp and dosbox uses about 10-15% cpu resource. Not bad at all. The very first time I ran dosbox it ran flawlessly. The next time I started it up any game I try to play runs horribly slow. Sound is fine, pointer is ok, but any sort of graphics are completely unplayable.

What would cause this because I've seen the game run flawlessly when I first played it.

to be a little more specific and make a correction;

dos box is not using 10-15%, it uses between 2 and 5%, I closed some other applications. Problem persits.

I disabled sound. No change, not even a minor one.

I don't have any joysticks plugged in that are not USB.

I made various corrections to the cfg that has been recommended on other threads to speed up gameplay. No change.

This is strange too, because the very first time I ran the program it ran fine. I did notice that the first time I switched to full screen the slowdown occured. Now running even in windowed mode, and reinstalling dos box provides for no change. Stumped.

well, got it worked out, just changed cpucycle from 3000 to 20000. Ran great except for some sound chop, cranked it back to 15000 works perfect.
