| Everything was fine until i typed cd doom. "cd doom (enter)" unable to change to: doom. DOSBox showed "C" and the folder was unzipped in FAMILY\dosgames but "cd doom" still doesn't work. |

Take a look whilst in WINDOWS, ya know, your VISTA,
do you see:
c:\users\family\dosgames\doom\ -> all those doom files here?
You made a mistake somewhere, in other words: you screwed up.
Let me repeat myself here:
| dosraider wrote: | Here, I had to redownload the sharewareversion from the site ....
The zip, DOOM19s.zip contains 5 files, unzip them in:
c:\users\FAMILY\dosgames\doom\
Run dosbox, be sure that c:\users\FAMILY\dosgames\ is correctly mounted as virtual C and that the prompt in dosbox shows C, not Z, I gonna suppose that by now that will be ok .....
Your inputs in dosbox: (and hit enter after every line)
cd doom
install
That will start the installation, your choices:
Accept C
Accept \doom\ as directory -(not \dooms\ see below)-
Let it run, takes some time
You'll get setupscreens automatically after the deicing,
Choices to make:
Controller: keyboard only I always play doom keyb only...
Music card: Sound blaster -> port adress 220
Sound FX : Sound Blaster -> port adress 220 ->IRQ7->DMA1
Number of channels to mix: begin with 4, doom is pretty greedy.
save and launch doom and here ya go.
To play again later:
cd doom
doom
The installer want to use dooms , but you're easier with doom as folder.
The only reason they propose dooms is because it's the shareware version. But it works fine with doom.
[Edit]
BTW, if you want to play full screen hit ALT+ENTER whilst ingame, and again to go back in window mode. |
You MUST use
mount c c:\users\FAMILY\dosgames\
to mount a VIRTUAL C in dosbox.
That's the base, dosbox will use that as root.
You MUST unzip the files in:
c:\users\FAMILY\dosgames\doom\ |

| I went in this order: start, computer, HP (disc drive C), users, FAMILY, Dosgames, and the files where there. Talking in order (in example: start, FAMILY, dosgames, doom file), what stuff should i click if i placed everything correctly? |

No, wait a min, I'll be back ....
You need a folder.
The folder is named DOOM.
Something as this: -(don't mind the other stuff)-
That's how it must look after unzipping.
After installing you'll get a lot of files in that folder, must look as this:
Click on the pics to enlarge.
If you have the files in c:\users\family\dosgames\ do this:
Create whilst in windows a new folder in c:\users\family\dosgames\ (rightclick), hit F2 rename "new folder' to doom drag/drop the 5 files from the archive in c:\users\family\dosgames\doom\
The 5 files you need to run install in dosbox are:
INSTALL.BAT
DEICE.EXE
DOOMS_19.DAT
DOOMS_19.1
DOOMS_19.2
And try again with dosbox.
You have FOLDERS and FILES, don't mix up those two! |

It simply means you screwed up again.-( sorry for that)-
Those 5 files MUST be in your \DOOM\ folder.
If they are there and present the installer will find them.
Check and double check if needed.
And as you've got all the needed info, and as my nightshift is over now, I'm off to bed.
Really, follow the guidelines and it will work.
If it doesn't, you've made mistakes. |

i've tried install like, seven times now and the five and i note- ALL FIVE FILES have been moved to the new doom folder and it still says cannot find .DAT file. I'll probably be back here at about 8:00 eastern time. 
(mumbling) damn vista and your damn .DAT files and friggin (mumbling gibberish, fades to silence) |

Start from scratch.
Delete the files in your \doom\ folder-(please don't delete the folder itself, or we're on square one with you)-, and unzip a new set of files in it.
You're missing something.
BTW, you can easily check the files by typing dir in dosbox whilst in \doom\ ......
But whatever, if it doesn't work, start from scratch.
*And it wouldn't amaze me -(when I look at your previous posts)- that you simply have shortcuts to some files instead of the files itself.* LMAO.
And dosbox can't read files you moved when dosbox is still running on the background, meaning:
It can only find files it had in the folder when dosbox started up.
Means also: you need to refresh dosbox with ... aaaargh.. whatever, close dosbox and restart dosbox after you move files around.

Did you ever tried doom95 in Vista, Franpa? Apparently not.

If your running vista then you need to shoot yourself for trying to run the original version of the game >.>
www.doomsdayhq.com works fine. (afaik) |

If you don't have anything new to bring and only can parotting what's already been said, then please shut up Franpa.
It's all been said before.
And what's more:
Dosbox runs perfectly in Vista, and doom in it.
READ the posts that Bloodwrath made, do you really think he will be able to setup one of the ports? What's more, to use one of those ports he needs at least one installed doom game-(shareware or full)-. No wad -> no port.

Also been said before in this topic, and forget the 'AFAIK', that's the difference between you and me, I know it works in Vista(32 ànd 64), you only can guess facts and parrot things.

Glad to hear you get those zombies after your sorry arse, Bloodwrath.
And FYI: I didn't say you are too stupid.
More some lack of basic PC knowledge. Not the same.
As far as I know, your probably a genius, but not in the PC handling.
Can't have it all. |

| Well, I'm a little confused that no one told me this site didn't have the full version, but that's okay. I decided to go with chocolate doom and i need to know how to install it. |
