Hi!
I use:
DOSBox 0.74
Windows 7 64bit
Dell Vostro 3700 (i5-520M, 4GB RAM, GeForce 330M)
I have a CD version of The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes - The Case of the Serrated Scalpel. If I set the machine to svga_s3 and run the game, the opening animation is being skipped every time. Just before the animation is about to start there is a message displayed but it's gone too fast to read it. Then the game starts and it seems to work fine. If I set the machine to vgaonly the opening animation starts, everything looks fine but after a few seconds when a cat jumps off a box and the bad guy is about to step in, DOSBox freezes completely (always at the same moment) and I have to kill it from the Task Manager.
The animation works almost fine in a SVN DOSBox (I use the latest one from http://ykhwong.x-y.net/) but if I run the game in full screen there are some distortions.
