You are best off getting one of the Doom source ports and using that to run the game. http://dengine.net/ I use PR-Boom. prboom.sourceforge.net/ There are plenty of others. These versions are designed to run on modern hardware with modern operating systems. Doom 95 which comes with the Doom Collections Edition was for Windows 95 and may not be all that compatible with Windows 7. Go for the source ports. You'll get better screen resolutions, better multiplayer and better sound.
