Hi!
I was searching troughout many topics for this problem, found some, but none of them helped.
I have Windows 7 Proffesional system on my notebook. One beautiful day I thought ab't game, which I haven't played looong loong time, so I downloaded dosbox and this game, hopefully fired it all up and... BAM. I was welcomed by the blank screen in dosbox (It's whole black, nothing written at all) 🙁. After little investigation I found out few things:
1. It's only problem in window mode, when I go into full screen (alt-enter) seems to cure that, but:
2. In full screen mode there is graphics, yea, but only one, unchangeable frame. If I wish it to update (change, refresh, call it whatever you like), I have to go out of and into full screen mode again (double alt-enter),
3. It's only problem with graphics, cause I managed to write something (both in full screen and window mode), then refresh (double alt-enter), and I was able to see what have I written, that's the first. The second, is, that audio is OK too, cause (using dosbox [autoexec] configuration I mounted folder with my game and put also command running it. And audio occurs with no problem. Graphics under full screen is pretty colorful, but not animated 🙁
Have some ideas what it can be?
EDIT:
Following one guide I'm posting here some more sfecific info ab't my notebook:
ASUS n61jv
Intel Core i3 2.13 GHz - 2.26 GHz
8 GB RAM
GeForce GT325M
Game name: Archon Ultra
Video mode: software
DOSBox 0.74
BTW - I was running successfully DOSBox before reinstall of my system. The only differences is that it was Windows 7 Ultimate N, and notebook had the Hitachi HDD, now it has WD.
