"Noadware" doesn't sound like so much of an anti-virus program as it is an anti-adware program. If you want my recommendation, try AVG Free Edition.

I would recommend trying virus checks on your computer, sometimes viruses have effects on programs that might not even be listed. I had problems like that before but it was a virus messing with something that ZDOOM needed. Try a virus program...Noadware is a good tool.

What happens if you try ZDoom spinoffs (thats probably not the right word), such as Skulltag, GZDoom, or ZDoomGL(dont know thats still around) ?

by CacoDemonz » Mon Jun 26, 2006 5:26 pm

Yup.

Also i downloaded the latest version and still happens the same thing.

Its weird... i also tryed use Legacy and it also doesnt recognize the pwads

You are sure you are loading a PWAD made for the IWAD you are using right?

by CacoDemonz » Sat Jun 24, 2006 2:16 pm

The first time was in the fist option.
Now im using the 2nd option and works fine, only the pwads dont run.
I tryed dropping them on zdoom.exe and whit command lines and still doesnt work :(

Well Caco, it's a step in the right direction. :-D

Did you try selecting the first option and then rebooting? Or was it already on the first option when you saw it? It's very strange indeed that it will run, but it won't run PWADs. Are you loading them from the command line, or drag and dropping them? try -file PWAD.wad (see command line parameters)

2BioDEP stands for Data Execution Prevention. There are both hardware and software versions. Newer processors support it, as does XP (I think past sp2). It's designed to disallow the accidental running of viruses. Basically, it's a new security nuissance. :-D

To do this, first push Windows + Pause, then click on the advanced tab and click "settings" under performance. A new window will open with three tabs, click the one that say DEP. Make sure the top option is selected (turn on DEP for Winblows programs and services only"), OR add zdoom to the list in the second option.
Woot i didnt know nothing avout that DEP.
I turned the second option and added zdoom, still wasnt working.
But when i unselected it i tryed it again and it worked, but a popup screen of DEP appeared saying "windows must close this program to prevent blah blah blah..." if i press anithing of that window, zdoom closes, but if i just ignore the window whitout pressing anithing of it i can play.
Well atleast i can play thank you very much!.

PD1:Ill take some pics of how that pop up screen appears when i have some free time.

PD2:Sorry for my bad enlgihs :?

PD3:Yes its my pc

EDIT:
Oh shyt now pwads doesnt work :evil: (i tryed whit doomengine launcher, and dropping the pwad on zdoom exe)

This is very vexing, indeed.

Just to throw out a few more ideas:
1)Try deleting the folder you put zdoom in, and then creating a new one. Unzip all of the zdoom files into that directory and then copy your Iwad. (This is a just in case something went awry the first time.)

2) Delete your ini file (if you have one). It doesn't sound like zdoom is even getting this far, but just in case there's something corrupt in there, it's worth a try.

3) If you're using XPSP2, perhaps there's some kind of weird DEP thing going on? Go into your advanced performance settings and click on the DEP tab. To do this, first push Windows + Pause, then click on the advanced tab and click "settings" under performance. A new window will open with three tabs, click the one that say DEP. Make sure the top option is selected (turn on DEP for Winblows programs and services only"), OR add zdoom to the list in the second option.

Caco, if you don't mind me asking, is this your own computer or does it belong to a sibling, parent, spouse, etc?
