I am trying to run Doom (I don't know the version, since I don't have it here)
on a 486 DLC 40 MHz. At first I thought the SoundBlaster was causing the lock ups,
but I removed all cards except the disk controller, and the vga card. It still locks
up, even when running at the non-turbo speed (8MHz I think).

Anyone seen this?

It starts ok, but then when you start to move around, or anywhere in the demo,
it locks up.

Thanks.
Email or post here.

Mike.

I read in the readme file that there is an additional file you need
which can be found in the zip file altdom.zip, which should be
with the doom file when you download.

Just a note: I ftp'ed 1.1 and the altdoom1 files, and it still locks up for me.
I tried all of the alternate dos extenders in altdoom1, but they all lock up.

The computer is about 2 weeks old. It is a Texas Instruments 486DLC-40MHz.
Does anyone else have this computer and/or problem?

I wish I could play!!! :(
