Zyzzle: The file SHELL32.DLL was (unfortunately) missing from the initial DOSBox-X 0.83.6 DOS package, but it was later discovered and the SHELL32.DLL file was added to the ZIP package (whose file name remains unchanged). Have you tried the redownload and run the DOS package?

For the "graphical passthough" option, does HX-DOS Extender (which the DOSBox-X DOS version relies on) already provides such a feature so that DOSBox-X can make sure of?
