Ok here's my specs:

Dual Core E2160
1GB RAm
Vista Home Premium
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3100

So, I just started using Dosbox the other day so I'm a complete noob to all this.

What's happening is that on the two games that I've been playing (Bioforge & Crusader No Regret) I get this blocky black stuff that appears on the screen randomly when I go into a different screen on Bioforge or if I let the game sit there in Crusader I get the same kinda stuff but its gray mainly. If I move my guy through it in either game it erases it or if I go to an item menu or another scene it goes away and then sometimes returns again the next time the screen blinks.

This might be pretty basic stuff but I don't know how to search out what this problem is called.

Thanks.

Umm, one more thing this only seems to happen in fullscreen mode.

Intel has horrible drivers and video cards. Always has...Always will.

Try upgrading your video card drivers.

Next play around with the "Output=" line in DOSBox.conf and switch between: Surface,Overlay,DDraw, and OpenGL in that order and see if one of those fixes your problem.

If you still cannot get it fixed then you can expand windowed mode to the size of your monitor and play like that.
