Just a couple of things. I'm using OS/2 2.1 on a 486/33. I have a Trident video card, and a SoundBlaster Pro card on IRQ10. I also have a Gravis joystick. I start the game up, it starts playing music, shows the introduction screen (the guy with the gun), then everything locks up. The music stops, and no keys I press do anything. I have to press "CTRL-ESC" to get back to the OS/2 desktop, then close the DOS session. Wolfenstein 3D worked fine on my machine. I admit, I haven't fooled around with the DOS settings to ensure they are the same as Wolfenstein, I'll try that tonight. My question: Does anyone out there use Doom under OS/2, and if so are there any special DOS box settings you had to set? -- - Kevin Lowey (Kevin...@USask.CA, Client Services Educational Services Team) Last week I forgot how to ride a bicycle. - Steven Wright
