Enable DirectDraw acceleration and drag the hardware acceleration slider all the way to the right in the "Troubleshoot Tab of the Advanced dialog box for your video card.

i am pretty sure that this is the problem because i am conecting remote (remote desktop) to the windows 2003 station (with admin rights), and i have no access to the video card config (i must be at the console).

i guess i cannot run dosbox in a remote environment

You probably can with WINDIB. I forgot the environment variable for it tho. I'll have to look it up.

Put the following lines into a batch file and then execute dosbox that way or you can probably put "SDL_VIDEODRIVER=WINDIB" into the environment variables tab in System Properties. Not sure if that sticks around in a TS session or not...it should.

SET SDL_VIDEODRIVER=WINDIB
dosbox.exe
