Hello,

	I'm one of those people that kind of likes Doom even though
it's an aging game, so it's frustrating to me that I can't get it to
work properly on my computer. The funny thing is, I just set it up on
my mother's computer and it works perfectly. Go figure. Here's a
rundown of the problems:

Problems:

 1. System hangs during initialization at "Starting Game Loop" every
 single time. It also hangs when choosing a selection on a menu,
choosing a skill level, and at the end of levels.  If I hit ALT+TAB
then escape, the game will start again. The reason? I'm 
getting an error message I can't see. I captured it with Hypersnap DX:

***MMSystem275 Cannot find the specified file. Make sure the path and
filename are correct.***

2. No midi whatsoever.

***If I disable digital sound in the control panel or use the -nosound
switch, the game runs normally, only without sound***

System Specs:

 Hardware Information: More Information than You Require Because I
Upgraded Recently:

 -Intel CeleronA overclocked to 450 (GL Doom did the same thing on my
old non-overclocked Intel Pentium II 266)
-Abit BH6 motherboard (I had the same problem with my old motherboard)
 -96 megs PCI SDRAM
 -Cardex Trio 64 2D card (Don't laugh)
 -2 Monster 3D II's (12 meg) in SLI. I'm using the newest drivers with
the "fixed" control panel.)
 -Creative Labs AWE 64 PnP Value, using Midi for Creative Advanced
Wave Effects Synthesis for AWE 32. I've tried using other midi modes
to no avail and have tried enabling / disabling full duplex and 3D
Enhancement. I'm using the latest sound drivers. 
 -1 Seagate 6.1 Hard Drive (GL Doom is located at c:\gldoom)
 -1 Seagate 2.1 Hard Drive
 -1 Standard Floppy Drive
- 1 Toshiba 32 X CD ROM
- 1 Acer CD-RW
 -Operating System: Windows 98 with no updates (After what DirectX 5
did to my system, I only upgrade Microsoft crap if I absolutely have
to.)
-Using DirectX 6 Core (bit the bullet and did it for various reasons.
=)

	Does anyone have any ideas what file GL Doom could be looking
for and not finding? It must have something to do with the sound, I'd
guess.

Thoughts to Ponder:

*Why is there braille on drive-through ATMs?
*If a cat always lands on its feet, and if, when you drop a buttered piece of bread, 
it always lands buttered-side-down...what would happen if you dropped a cat with a
buttered piece of bread strapped to its back?
