+====================
+
+DOSBox crashes right after starting it:
+  - use different values for the output= entry in your DOSBox
+    configuration file
+  - try to update your graphics card driver and DirectX
+
+Running a certain game closes DOSBox, crashes with some message or hangs:
+  - see if it works with a default DOSBox installation
+    (unmodified configuration file)
+  - try it with sound disabled (use the sound configuration
+    program that comes with the game, additionally you can
+    use sbtype=none and gus=false)
+  - change some entries of the DOSBox configuration file, especially try:
+      core=normal
+      fixed cycles (for example cycles=10000)
+      ems=false
+      xms=false
+    or combinations of the above settings
+  - use loadfix before starting the game
+
+The game exits to the DOSBox prompt with some error message:
+  - read the error message closely and try to locate the error
+  - try the hints at the above sections
+  - mount differently as some games are picky about the locations,
+    for example if you used "mount d d:\oldgames\game" try
+    "mount c d:\oldgames\game" and "mount c d:\oldgames"
+  - if the game requires a cdrom be sure you used "-t cdrom" when
+    mounting and try different additional parameters
+  - check the file permissions of the game files (remove read-only
+    attributes, add write permissions etc.)
+  - try reinstalling the game within dosbox
