Hi, I'm trying to play this game but unfortunately, I get the strangest error I've ever encountered with DOSBox.

I successfully manage to install the game but when I start it, I get a flashing DOSBox screen. The music and sound is playing, but the graphics are not showing. Basically the DOS text is flashing and cycling colours.

I have an Intel Core 2 at 4.4 ghz, 2 gigs of RAM and a GeForce 9400 GT. I'm using an LCD monitor if that makes any sort of difference.

I'm using D-Fend Reloaded with DOSBox 0.73. I have the basic configuration it uses for all games for it right now, I only added my DVD drive.

Thanks in advance.

PS: Silly me, I forgot to mention that I'm using Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3. Also, if any of you feel that any information is missing please ask.

Have you tried the new machine options? Specifically, setting DOSBox to vgaonly (if the game supports VGA mode), vesa_nolfb or vesa_oldvbe could produce different results.

Hey, thanks for the advice. I changed the resolution choice to 640x480 and the graphics option to SVGA_et4000 and it works! Consider this problem solved.
