Hello, I have recently installed Dosbox and when I open it the main window is blank. nothing on it. I am trying to run it on an HP laptop with an Intel i5 5200u with 6 GBs of ddr3 ram. I read in another post to change the option of output from "surface" to "ddraw" I did that it didn't work either. I have since changed it back to "surface" If someone might know how to help me I'd greatly appreciate it as I would love to play some oldschool games.

opengl or openglnb is usually the way to go.
