Every time I try to start DOSbox it just crashes. I have reinstalled it without success. I'd really love to get it to start since I wanna play my old Commander Keen games, but right now it doesn't work =( And yeah, I have the latest version, ofc =P

So, any help i appreciated.

Unplug all joysticks.
Update your video card drivers.
Try different output= options in dosbox.conf
Make sure DirectDraw acceleration is enabled.
Try older versions of DosBox.

I believe this is fixed in CVS. I think you can get around it with the version you are using now by setting the joystick to none in dosbox.conf.
