Hi all,
I've tried reading the readme and FAQ and not found the answer to my problem so I thought I'd ask.
How do I disable the Dosbox screen saver? I have an old business program that won't run on Windows 7 so we've been running it in Dosbox but, after a while, a 'star field' screen saver pops up and when you press any key the screen has gone blank, so we can't see the application. This is isn't my Windows screensaver so we assume it's part of Dosbox.
I've tried Google and searching the forums but no-one even mentions a screensaver. Any worked it out?
Thanks,
Al

It's not part of dosbox, so if it's *inside* the dosbox window it's your application.

That'll explain why we couldn't find any settings for it then. I was starting to wonder. Thanks for your help.
