How to run Doom95 in modern Windows

A lot of people having complaining about problems running Doom95. Some especially complained about the horrible colours.

Here's a way you can make Doom95 playable again.

1. Right-click on Doom95.exe
2. Go to compatibility
3. Set run in compatibility for Windows NT 4.0
4. Set Disable visual themes, and desktop compositing.
5. Now run Doom95!

With these modifications, I could run Doom95 the same way as I did with XP.

The question is, why would you use such a horrible source port such as Doom95?

Why? There is so much better.

There's also a method written on the wiki.

But you forgot one important thing:
XP is not 'modern Windows'! :P

I would rather run the game under DOSBox.

That's what you'll find on the majority of Doom CDs, and be prompted to install/run if AutoRun is enabled. So if you're new to Doom, that's the port you'll try to use before going in search of something better.
