Have you tried changing "Output=" in dosbox.conf?
Upgraded your video drivers?
What kind of video card do you have?

I tried the various values for Output= but all had the same result. I have a standard Nvidia GeForce 7600GS with the latest drivers from nvidia.com. The only odd thing may be I am running at 1680x1050 resolution on a widescreen LCD, but I tried changing it to 1024x768 and no difference. I also tried disabling Aero but that didnt matter either...

Try the CVS builds in my signature.

Try AEP first
Then yhkwong's
The gulikoza's.

The AEP one works! So that means the next official version should work for me, whenever it is released, and I can just use this one for now? I guess you still have no idea what the cause of the crashing is?

Thanks!

If the AEP version works then most likely the next official version will work but not necessarily.

I'd say if you want to you could try the next beta of the next official release of DosBox that will be out pretty soon and see if you have the same problem.

For now if you could just take the sdl.dll from AEP's and paste it into the Official DosBox 0.70 and see if that works that would probably narrow things down. It's possible AEP is using an update ver of SDL.

nope, I thought of that already 😀 The AEP works with the 0.70 standard DLL that was (apparently) crashing with the other executable. Anyways, its usable now, so good enough for me. Thanks for the assistance.

I had the same issue with Vista x64 and DOSBox 0.71. AES build also fixed the problem for me.

The most crashes I got were caused by going full screen while keeping "original" as resolution.
