25075	2001-11-21 02:53:00	Hi! My old faithful Doom game seems to have given up the ghost, but I can't figure out why. It will play for a couple of minutes but then it freezes (with the sound of the chainsaw still running) and I have to push the restart button to get my computer back (ctrl+alt+delete doesn't do it!). I've tried re-installing my graphics adapter driver, I even tried installing Windows ME (it first happened running Win 98SE), I've run three thorough scan disks and a defrag, then tried re-installing Doom. Still happens! Can anyone help? I run it on a 466 Celeron, Win ME with an S3 3D video card. (This machine always used to run Doom fine.) I have plenty of spare disk space. I would appreciate your comments Joe	Guest (0)

25077	2001-11-21 03:39:00	Ah yes Doom, I've been playing that since '94 Format a floppy and copy command.com, mouse.com and himem.sys to the disk. create an autoexec.bat file for the floppy and write lh mouse create a text file one the floppy called config.sys, in it write device = himem.sys boot from that and have fun!

Or another way is to get GLDoom ,if you have an OpenGL video card, as it uses Direct X 3 or greater. If you have a look around the Doom sites,you should find versions of Doom people have altered to run on Windows. Try www.doomworld.com	Guest (0)
25079	2001-11-22 03:48:00	Joe Stop playing games and do some work! But yes, get the win95 version, way easier. And anyway, wait for the new Castle Wolfentstein. I can't wait. Robo	Guest (0)
25080	2001-11-22 03:59:00	Thanks everyone. I guess I should have said, it is the Doom95 version. The mystery deepens. Doesn't anyone have any idea of what might be causing it? Help! I was just getting through this section ... Joe	Guest (0)
