probably need to be set to an older compadiblity like 95 or 98. Right click on the exe and run under compadability mode.

Jeez, he just told you!
Ok, go to the games folder, something like c:\program files\doom whatever. Now, right click the executable file, and then click the compatibility tab, then right click, "run this program under compatability mode" then select windows 95 or windows98 under the drop down list.
