I've been playing DoomRL for a few days now, and all of a sudden, when I try to start it up, it crashes and gives me a "disk full" error. My disk definitely isn't full. This is what the error log says:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Does anyone know a fix? Thanks.

The game is crashing while trying to open score.wad.
If you could upload your score.wad, that could be useful to us in figuring out what went wrong.
In the meantime, you can delete score.wad from the DoomRL directory and the game should create a new one (but you will lose your high score list). You can also try loading up an old score.wad from the Backup subdirectory of your DoomRL installation.

I just deleted the file (I only had two games in), and restarted with the same error and same entry in the error log. There's nothing to upload from score.wad though. It's a blank 1k file.

OS information needed!

Sorry, slipped my mind.
I'm using Windows 7 on an HP dv6000 series

Another question: where did you extract the files to in order to play? Maybe the executable doesn't have write access to the particular location and the error is mis-interpreted as being disk full or something.

I think you're onto something here. I always have this problem with directories in Windows 7. I try to open up write access, but often time 7 won't "let" me, so I have to fiddle with it to get around it. I think something like that is happening here, so I'll have to tinker.

Is it Program Files or maybe another directory that is restricted for writing?

If you have UAC enabled, then the system is doing copies of the changed files to the specific hidden directories (if you are running them as a non-admin user).
You may have to check those copies for read/write access.
