It worked twice I played 2 games fine, I changed the resolution and the video mode to open GL and it worked then I logged out the game and tried to get in another and that and 7 more crashed they all crash. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling zandodoom and still the same crash.

I don't know what an L wad is sir, is it something you put in your jeans to enhance your masculinity for women?

Ive managed to get it working by deleting the folder then copying the folder from my old ghard drive that worked. It now works but without hardwhere acceleration so a fog of pixels. BUT I am afraid that if I turn on open GL again it will not allow me to start a game again or turn off open GL.

That wasn't an L, it was a capital I. An iwad has all the data for a game. Examples of iwads are doom.wad, doom2.wad, tnt.wad, plutonia.wad, etc. In order to play, you must have an iwad. Then you can add one or more pwads to add custom maps and/or a gameplay mod. I know the P in pwad stands for patch, but I don't know what the I in iwad stands for. I have heard that WAD stands for "Where's All the Data?". Both kinds of wads will have a .wad extension.

It has just occurred to me that you might already know this and was just making a joke. I'll post this anyway, just in case.

If you want to turn off opengl without starting the game first, go to your Zandronum folder and find zandronum.ini or zandronum-[username].ini where [username] is the name of your windows user. Open the file in notepad or a text editor of your choice, and find the first line in the file which says "vid_renderer". The line should look like this:

Code: Select all

vid_renderer=1
Change that to this:

Code: Select all

vid_renderer=0
and save the file. Now when you run Zandronum again it should start in software mode.

Since running Zandronum in opengl causes it to crash, there might be something wrong with your graphics card driver. Try to update the graphics card driver, maybe opengl will work after that.

Thankyou sir it worked perfectly, you are a genius and a legend! I love you, you even got it right about the card I forgot to install the drivers after a format !
