Hi!

In general, DOSBox works very fine here. However, when I Alt-Tab or Ctrl-F10 out of the game and do something different (surf to some website, make some notes in notepad, ...), the game inside DOSBox sometimes crashes (various games with various error messages, looks like some kind of memory corruption to me). The situation seems to be worse when doing something resource-intensive outside DOSBox.

The problem can be workarounded by Alt-Pausing DOSBox before doing something outside (i.e. Ctrl-F10, then Alt-Pause, then switch to some other application, ...). Still, I'd like to know if this is a know issue or not (and if it is, whether there is an easy fix for it).

Greetings,
Heinzi

Set cycles to a fixed value or use a CVS build.
