I belive I got it working. I un-installed my drivers, installed them from the SBlive disk (the manufacturer of my PC left a bunch of stuff out when they did the install) and with the c:\command.com /c c:\duke3d\duke3d.exe stuff it works. I don't understand why the Cammand.com stuff makes the differance, but it does. Mine works with LW2 though, and I ain't about to change anything! Thanks for the help!
