    Sorry for bothering everyone about doom again, but I got this doom:
    http://www.doom2.net/~doomdepot/abs-download.html

    and i did everything correctly but when I open the file, it works properly, but its fullscreen. Does anyone know if I can make this game windowed, because my computer gets screwed up as it is fullscreen? Thanks

    Right click the application icon. Search the tabs. Somewhere there should be a box you can check for it to run windowed.

    do you mean the exe. file? because I went inside of it, and tried to change the resolution, but nothing. Plus I used the config file and nothing again

    Yes the .exe file. Where you double click it will open the game. Right click select properties. One of the tabs should have run windowed or something.

    Yeah, I opened the .exe file, but when my computer starts handling full-screen stuff, it gets all screwed up.

    Try above. I modified the message. You should be able to run it windowed that way.

    It could be that your computer isn't powerful enough to play it, but thats just a thought.

    Well its emulated which means it takes up more power than the original console took, plus i don't know what kind of computer he has.

    Well I have eMachines,

    AMD Sempron 3100+Processor
    1.8 GHz 256 KB L2 Cache
    1600 MHz System Bus

    Video
    nVidia Geforce 6100 GPU
    with available PCI-express slot

    Harddrive = 100 GB

    Memory = 512 MB DDR SDRAM

    and the others have to do with internet. Is there anything wrong with this?

    those specs are fine. DOS games often have issues running in windowed mode.
