I can confirm that indeed it works perfectly with Doom 3. Many thanks.

System: W98SE, 1GB DDR/ dual channel, GeForce 6600, 3GHz P4

It did stutter a bit at first but second time I opened it all was well.

--------------------------------------------------------

I'd about given up hope as I don't normally even run windows. I prefer
Linux. It's supposed to run under Linux but for some reason the screen
that asks for the CD key can't fit all the numbers in the space they
provide.

Does anyone know how the heck you get the CD key in that box under Linux?
If I do it like this...

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Instead of

xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xx

Is still 2 characters short. Include the dashes and it's 6 characters too
small. 

IOW it will only accept a string 16 long with NO dashes. The key is 18
long and includes 4 dashes = 22 characters.
