Zdoom problems

[Bashe]

Sometimes, I will click on Zdoom to start it and it will just sit there. I open up the task manager and I will see it there, but it just won't start, like it's doing now. What is wrong with it?

Have you tried starting it from MS-DOS, instead of just double clicking on it?

That won't work. It's Windows only... at least 1.23 and following...

[Ichor]

I know. I meant running it from an MS-DOS window, not restarting the computer in DOS mode.

[boris]

Then don't call it MS-DOS, since that's just plain wrong :P

[Ichor]

Heh, ok I guess.

Anyway, have you tried that? Also, see if restarting your computer might help.

[Bashe]

Restarting it would probably be the way to go, but I'm too lazy right now (summer days). Lemme try running command.com.

Let's wait till my song is over, though.

All right, I figured it out. I just have to let it sit for a while and it will run finally.

What version of Windows are you using? If you're using 2k or XP you should not run command.com, but cmd.exe!

more zDoom problem :

Lately I have been playing Bella 2 and god knows it has small maps.
But still I get some lag when the game loads an unplayed sound.
Like when I meet the 1st baron of a map, the game will lag a bit before doing the baron alert sound.

It's prolly related to my comp, but ports like prBoom and Legacy do not have these stupid lags.
