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!
