'''Q.''' Using Mac OS X 10.5.3 without a problem (MOO) and when upgraded to 10.5.4 MOO started flashing rainbow colors instead of the normal background in full screen mode (works fine in windowed mode.) I have a warning about the quickdraw capability being deprecated in my console window. Any suggestions?

'''Q.''' My backslash key is mapped to ']' with DOSBox in Vista. Is there a workaround?

'''A.''' Press <tt>CTRL-F1</tt> to enter the [[keymapper]] and select the backslash with your mouse. Press the <tt>DELETE</tt> button that will show up on your screen. Then press <tt>ADD</tt> to bind backslash to another key. Simply press an unused key to bind it to this. Press <tt>SAVE</tt> and then <tt>EXIT</tt> to return to the main screen.

'''Q.''' My cursor is trapped within the DOSBox window when I click inside. How do I get the cursor out?

'''A.''' DOSBox will capture your mouse when you click inside the display window (and you have '''<tt>autolock=true</tt>''' set in the [[Dosbox.conf]]). Simply press '''<tt>CTRL-F10</tt>''' to release the mouse.

'''Q.''' I have set Gnome to load DOSBox when I click on .COM files. How do I script it to exit DOSBox when I quit from the game?

'''A.''' with -exit as commandline parameter for DOSBox.

'''A.''' See the information on the [[MOUNT]] command, or type <tt>intro mount</tt> or <tt>intro cdrom</tt> in DOSBox for the basics.

'''A.''' See the information on the [[IMGMOUNT]] command

'''Q.''' How do I unmount or change images? I need to swap CD images in the drive.

'''A.''' You don't "unmount", you may assign more than one image file to [[IMGMOUNT]], to swap images use <tt>CTRL-F4</tt>.

'''Q.''' I have created an image from a CD that includes CD audio tracks, when I access it in DOSBox only the first (data) track is available.

'''A.''' Be sure to use the bin/cue format for mixed mode CDs (CDs with a data and audio tracks) and always pass the cue file to [[IMGMOUNT]].

'''Q.''' When I write '':'' it turns out ''>'' or when i write ''å'' ''ä'' ''ö'' or any other non standard us character. How can I fix this for my keyboard?

'''A.''' Use the [[KEYB]] command to change your [[Keyboard layout]].

'''Q.''' I can't find the ":" symbol anywhere in my dosbox. I am using Vista on a laptop. Please advice me how to fix the problem.
