Over here (The Newbie's Pictorial Guide To DOSBox): The Newbie's Pictorial Guide To DOSBox in Step 3, it says to make the game run smoothly you press ctrl, alt, and delete to goto the task manager with the DoxBox program selected. Then going to preformance. Well it says pressing ctrl + F12 and Ctrl +F8 will make the cpu usage go up. It doesn't. Also after I did the F12 one once, my enter key to skip movies in the game does not work. Can someone help me.

And last in the thread entitled " How to speed up DOSBox (by robertmo and mirekluza)": How to speed up DOSBox (by robertmo and mirekluza) it says

8. Setting cycles/frameskip:

where is this in the DOSBox.conf file?

And in Step 3 "3. Run DOSBox in a fullscreen mode" under where it says

if you have black stripes at the top and the bottom of the screen

I have this problem and it says goto my

display driver settings and change refresh rate for these two resolutions: 320x200 and 640x400

Where is this? My screen is a flate screen.

cycles is in here:
[cpu]
# core -- CPU Core used in emulation: normal,full,dynamic.
# cycles -- Amount of instructions dosbox tries to emulate each millisecond.
# Setting this higher than your machine can handle is bad!
# cycleup -- Amount of cycles to increase/decrease with keycombo.
# cycledown Setting it lower than 100 will be a percentage.

core=dynamic
cycles=3000
cycleup=500
cycledown=20

Don't be so hard
