I've got a real head-scratcher here. My problem is characterized by a couple of odd things. First, when I download the DoomRL zip from the website, Firefox, or whatever browser I use to download it, acts as if it can't tell how large the file is while downloading. I've got no idea if that is related to what happens next.
Then, I unzip the game folder anywhere on my computer. The second I try to open the game folder out of the zip, my computer instantly crashes to the Blue Screen with the error, 'Page Fault in Nonpaged Area'. I do not have to try to use any of the game's files or it's executable, all that is required is to open the game folder itself for the crash to fire. My computer runs perfectly stable, without any such crashes, except when I have this folder extracted. It is completely beyond my ability to comprehend why this happens.
