Hello Ryan. DOSBox may fail if your desktop screen saver is active. Check to see if your computer's screen saver is turned on. If it is on, disable your screen saver and try running DOSbox again. If this solution does not work, try the next one below.

Another cause for crashing may be your version of DOSBox. As Microsoft and your computer manufacturer updates your computer's software from time to time, incompatibility issues may occur. Try downloading and installing the latest version of DOSbox at the DOSbox website.

Currently, the latest version is DOSbox 0.74.

I hope either of the solutions presented will help you with your problem.

Have a good one.
