I have an intermittent problem with the above games

They run beautifully with DOSbox full screen most of the time, but sometimes when an item is "picked up" or damage is taken the game slows for a second and the "effect colour" (eg red for blood) becomes much too prominent. To stop this I seem to need to shut down the whole system, restart and go straight into DB. No problems in windowed mode. Have I missed something?

Thanks in advance Teller
