I have lost my original install disk of this, but I still had an old RAR of the my Direct Access v5.1 Folder. My problem is I have DOSBOX v0.72 installed and setup to auto-mount a folder and boot into Direct Access and all works fine except when I try to run a game a different game. I can select a game and play it without problem. Then when I am done playing and exit the game it boots right back to the Direct Access Menu, now if I select a different Game to play it loads the Game I had just played. Now if I exit this Game it will finally let me select a new Game, but the same thing will happen again if I exit this game and try to load a new game.

So I'm wondering if this is a problem with DOSBOX emulating Direct Access or maybe my copy of Direct Access is broken. I really wish still had my originals to do a fresh install.

Anyways, thanks for any info provided.

Does it happen with all types of games? Or does the order matter?
Try some "easy" games like keen, if you can run say keen1 after keen4
using that application.

I can run all the games just fine from the menu... it just loads the game twice in a row.... like if I go play Keen 1 then exit the game the menu auto loads back up then I select Keen 4, it will load Keen 1 again. Then after I exit Keen 1, I am able to load Keen 4 and play it. But then the same thing happens again. When I exit Keen 4 and go to play a different Game, it will reload Keen 4. Then I exit Keen 4 again and I am able to select the game I wanted to play.

I can deal with it.. but its a little annoying.
