Are you trying to run DOOM under Windows?  I've never been able to do
it reliably, and it's too slow.  Try running it from the DOS prompt,
and if that doesn't work, try making a clean boot disk.  Myself, I
have multiple configurations (DOS 6.x can do this), with one for DOOM.
Shows you how much I play this game, doesn't it?

Good luck,

Paul
