The general idea might be a useful improvement for DOSBox as a patch; where the search resources are immediately released for filespecs not containing wildcards. With the TSR, any program that performs an additional FindNext will get a "no more files" error, which is the expected and correct result; but DOSBox shows an "invalid search ID" error in its debug output because the search resources have been released. Shouldn't see any kind of error (even if harmless) for a normal FindFirst/FindNext sequence, so that little issue should be handled as part of a patch.
Well I must say I have good news 😀
Yesterday I left the pc life, and today I went to check how is it going, memory is ok, doing normal 😀 So I think the problem is solved!
ripsaw8080, I can't describe how thankful I am! I must say that without DosBox and you, I would not have managed to deal with this problem!
Thank you very much!

Hard drive images can be made with imgmake, from HAL9000's DOSBox Megabuild; floppy images are easily manipulated with Virtual Floppy Drive and would be a better bet if this program is small enough for a floppy. Either option is probably preferable to recompiling DOSBox. Wink
Hello Jorpho! after your post, I've re-read the readme one more, and now I understand that I probably miss-understood something.. maybe because I was reading it at 5 A.M... not sure 😀 But It'll be a good lesson for me in future!
Thank you everyone!
