Hi.. First off i want to thank you guys for developing this great emulator. I have been using it for quite some time. I recently upgraded my computer. Worked flawlessly on my old computer mind you it wasn't widescreen or anything.

I recently bought Dell XPS L501X with 18" widescreen. I realize that older games are 4:3 ratio and my computer is meant to run 16:9.

What happends:

Emulator works fine in window mode. when i hit ALT + ENTER the screen stays frozen but emulator still working in the background.

I tried lowering the resolution on my laptop 800x600 still same thing happens.

any idea's?

Sorry to waste your time I resolved the issue.

I changed the output to ddraw in dosbox config

Still strange that it'd freeze, maybe graphics card driver update would help.
