I still have the 3.5" floppy disks of Doom and Doom 2. I installed
them on my WIN 98 computer, but I have a problem: if I go into DOS
mode, the sound card doesn't work. So I'm trying to run it in the
MS-DOS prompt window inside Windows, but the game keeps trying to
maximize the screen, then the screen goes black and freezes. Even if I
set the DOS prompt to run minimized, it still tries to run it
full-screen and freezes up. 

Anybody have any ideas?
