I was using DosBox and the program I was running through it crashed. When this happened, my screen's resolution didn't return to normal and I had to find the log out button blindly because my mouse was disabled. Is there any fix for this? The program was called "Windows 3.1". Also, is there any way to get Windows 2.1 and 1.1 to work under dosbox?

Fullscreen or what? Usually even when dosbox crashes the SDL code
to restore the original video mode is executed.

DOSBox sometimes finds an infinite loop and then it's quite hard to get rid of it in fullscreen.

Yes, I know sometimes it doesn't restore the original screen size (from painful experience), but is there some kind of way to fix this?
