I have vista, and I also have "The ultimate Doom Trilogy" It has Doom, Doom2, and Final Doom.

I'm trying to get it to play on my computer, but it won't. I keep reading all this stuff about "ChocolateDoom" and what not, but I don't understand any of that technical stuff.

Can anyone help me?
Thanks.

Currently when I try to start the game, a window comes up that says:"This appliccation has failed to start because DPLAY.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

Awsome, thank you very much. I downloaded it, now what do I do with it?

Edit: Nevermind, I got it. I just copied it into the files for each of the games. Thank you very much. I have been trying to get this to work for a while now.

Now if someone can get the original Alien versus Predator to work with newer Nvidia drivers...

new nvidia drivers don't work on modern games. I'm still running 07 drivers and everything works perfectly.
