doom collectors edition

i got over the DPLAY.dll error by downloading the dll file separately
and putting it in c:\windows\system 32.
but now i have big problems with screen resolution. no matter what size
i have set it to be, or whether it is supposed to be window or full
screen, the game always comes up in full screen as a small narrow
monochrome picture at the edge with flickering around the edge of the
screen. help!
anyone know what it is or how to fix it?

'DLL-files.com - dplay.dll, free download'
(http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?dplay)

download and put the file into the doom2, ultimate doom and final doom
folders and you will be good to play.

Put the dll into doom2, ultimate doom and final doom folders.

for the help so far though. :)

Try using DosBOX which is excellent emulator for DOS. What OS are you
running and how are you executing the game? Are you running it in a
compatibility mode?

You can also get one of the MANY Open Source DOOM programs for Windows.
The Doom Source Code was released to the public a long time ago, lots of
people have written clients that run natively in Windows NT/XP/Vista,
you may still need to make sure DirectX is up to snuff, but at least
with a native client you won't have to run Win9x DirectX libraries.

Doom runs on toasters now a days, just gotta get the right client and a
CD with all the .WADs (Level data, still copyrighted, but the game code
is open source)

It's your video card being too good for the game. Go to the folder
where the files are kept and right click on each application, select
properties, and run it in compatibility with Windows XP or earlier, and
run in 256 colours and 640x480 resolution. That's how I got mine to look
normal. :)
