Dosbox works great on my other computer great but when I try using my dos games on my new netbook it has problems. Whenever I go to fullscreen the colors appears funky. Namely it seems to cycle through some weird color schemes. It does work fine in windowed mode for whatever reason.

Any ideas?

Strange. I have a Lenovo S10-1 and Dosbox works just perfect with default output. I'm running windows xp on it.

I'm using windows 7 starter. And what options would I have to change output too. When I click on configure it just opens up a text file. There are no other options or anything listed.

IMO the config file is clearly documented:

# output: What video system to use for output.
# Possible values: surface, overlay, opengl, openglnb, ddraw.

I would recommend ddraw for Ati cards and OpenGL for nVidia cards, but you are free to try.
