#1. make a list of cards and stuff in your slots. Then find the IRQ's for them.
Then look at them to make sure there aren't any conflicts. if there is, change 
something around. Windoze is very picky about what goes where.
Don't forget stuff like parallel ports!

#2. check the 'DOh!' type things. like the volume controls, the physical and
the software (sbset.exe), *and* the windows settings.

#3. do a "deltree windows" and *really* start over from scratch. Make sure the dos side of things work (doom or some other game), then re-install windows
and reinstall the sb directory. *and* make sure to run the sb setup on the
windows side.

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,
