I also have a Gravis joystick. : : Try setting your SBPro interupt to 7 or lower, as I remember, DOOM (and a : whole bunch of other games) does not like interupts greater than 7. Actually, I saw that, but ran the program anyway. It even says in the setup program that DOOM doesn't support an IRQ above 9. HOWEVER, I told it to use Interrupt 5 (thinking I'd change my card when I shut down). The game then automatically started from the Setup program, and it worked! All the digitized sounds worked fine, even though I was using the "unsupported" interrupt 10. The other problem I had was with the joystick. I just disabled it and everything is fine.
