Well, this might not be much help but I had a similar problem when I first
started.  Then I read somewhere that build needed to be copied into the
actual program; I was trying to run it off the disk and it wasn't switching
into 3d mode correctly, and being a novice myself?  I looked it up. lol One
of the books I use  (they both pretty much say the same thing), but it
boils down to at the DOS prompt type in, COPYQ:\GOODIES\BUILD\*.* C:\DUKE3D
where q: is your cd drive and c: is your main harddrive.  Maybe that's what
you're doing wrong. >shrug< lol Good luck--and mine's a piece of junk
Packard Bell with a little ol' pentium 120 in, 16 mgs of ram, so it oughta
work fine for you if it works on mine.  Anyway, later daze!
