When I try to Alt-Tab, Ctrl-Alt-Delete or otherwise exit any of the Might and Magic games without closing them, DOSBox immediately "encounters a problem and needs to close". This is a problem because I need to Alt-Tab out of the game to get the password to the Vertigo door in Worlds of Xeen. I can't progress further until I find a solution to this problem. Additionally I would not be able to Alt-Tab out to check for help online if I got stuck.

Perhaps if I ran the program in compatibility mode it would help? Or does anyone know how I might fix this? Thanks for your help.

Alt-Enter should switch from full screen mode and back again without closing DOSBox.
