Go here.

Download VDMS sound. Install it and when you want to run a game, right-click on the executable and chose the 'Run with VDMS sound' option.

You should really change to WinXP. Everything works.

GO SOURCEPORTS.

Thankfully I've just co-written a resumé on R! World with RCM on this very subject.

http://zdoom.notgod.com is a start.

yea u have to go with a source port. while DOS doom may run under XP the sound is horrible. as of now XP has support for the very old 8-bit soundblaster. so any sound u do get running off dos doom in XP will sound like a monkey farting in a can. i recoment zdoom or legacy

Hmm, that just contradicts everything I've heard so far.

I will second that...tem times over. Anyone ever try this game called Heretic? Like just about any other dos game, the game slows to a halt whenever a sound is played.

So not everything works.

And how 'bout Strife? Any sourceports for Strife (except that I only have the demo)?
