Firstly I'd like to say what a great program DOSBox is. I use it for running a program I developed almost 20 years ago - not a game but a DOS accounts package. I still sell the odd copy and post-Windows XP I need DOSBox to get it to work.

I have noticed that the latest version 0.74 doesn't seem to recognise the state of the NumLock key on starting. I have to press NumLock twice for my app to recognise the number keypad keys correctly. I didn't have this issue in 0.73.

Also I find that Alt+Tab is treated as keyboard input before it switches to the next window. I don't know if anything can be done about this.

I'm not sure how much detail I need provide about my setup. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit edition on an Acer Aspire 7740 laptop. All mod cons.

Cheers G 😀

Numlock problem is known and has been fixed already in the current code.
Alt-Tab is indeed tricky. Not sure if we can really improve it.
