did DOOM3 run on ur onboard gfx. card before, or is it the first time.
if its the first time then, maybe your H/W is not supported, or maybe disabling of DMA might help.

its a suggestion at HP Support Centre. Go here to find out more on Disabling DMA.

this sugesstion is based on a similar config. HP PC.

if you havent done this for more than 1 1/2 month, then proceed.

Clear the contents in "Prefetch" folder.

=>>Start->run->prefetch

Select all & delete.

Then run a "Registry Scan" & CCleaner (to clear unwanted data from ur PC).

==>>one question-> have you installed any third party "Codecs" recently???
b'coz some codecs cause such problems (but not with all games).

i have installed Daemon tools quite some time ago and since then this problem occurs in my system...what shud i do..

^Is it an original game disc? Daemon tools dosen't have anything to do with it.The 915 onboard does support DOOM 3,Heck even the 845 onboard runs Doom 3.

Do one thing
Download a Software called Virtual CD
now copy all of ur files from CD into ur HDD
now using Virtual CD make that file(doom folder) a Virtual CD
& try to run ur game

i have installed Daemon tools quite some time ago and since then this problem occurs in my system...what shud i do..

Uninstall the daemon tool.

when you know the reason , why didnt you uninstall it.

if you've already unistalled it & still are facing the problm, then you have to remove some Daemon Tool Drivers i think some "scsci" drivers. i'm not sure which driver, better wait for others reply.
in the ,mean time google.

-->Yes, it is an original Doom3 CD.It doesnt only happen to Doom3 cd..but to all game cds which needs their respective cd's to be inserted.I have already unistalled Daemon tools,but i think some autorun files have been lost in that process...is there any thing i can do to run Xp peacefully without this idiotic error..
-->I have Virutal drive installed in my computer,befor installing and unistalling Daemon tools...
-->Actually i installed Daemon tools so that i can play NFS-Most Wanted..which requires this software to run the game.....

 

[s18000rpm]

So do you still have a Virtual Drive.

If yes, Install the daemon tools again, open it & DISABLE the Virtual Drive, & after Disabling the Virtual drive, UnInstall the Daemon tools.

After you've restarted the PC run a Registry Scan & "Cleaner" using "CCleaner" (or using other s/w which u use), to clear (delete) all the unneccessary files (.tmp files) from ur PC.

now pop-in the game disc & tell us whether your problem is over or not.
