Hello,

I have software that I use for my business that is old but reliable, so I use DOSBox to run it since it is written for Windows 98 😒 . To run the program, I use DOSBox and leave it fullscreened throughout the day. However, every day at exactly 2:00 pm, the screen minimizes itself for some odd reason. This only happens when DOSBox is in fullscreen mode, and it happens every single day at exactly 2:00 pm 😠 . Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? 😊

I looked thru (skimmed) my conf, and I didn't see any kind of timer like that in there. What version of DOSBox is it?

I'd expect you have some other program running in the task scheduler or whatever that does something causing fullscreen programs to lose focus.
