Hi all!

I'm getting this error in my console, whenever I set DosBox 0.61 to Fullscreen=true. Games do run, but I cannot determine the CPU cycles I need for a certain game, because the console keeps getting larger and larger (don't know how to explain it, the error is written again and again.)

This is the Config File I use. Yes I have read the readme, and no, I'm no complete Noob... 😎

Fullwidth and fullheight are set to 0!
Set them to reasonable sizes, like eg. Fullwidth=640, fullheight=480.
