doom 2 vista resolution error

I have big problems with screen resolution trying to play any of the doom's from the collectors edition on vista. no matter what size i have set it to be, or whether it is supposed to be window or full screen, the game always comes up in full screen as a small narrow monochrome picture at the edge with flickering around the edge of the screen. help!
anyone know what it is or how to fix it?

Re: doom 2 vista resolution error

thanks for the tip, it opens them and runs fine apart from its very laggy...
tryed turning down the resolution in the game and it freed it up a bit, but still pretty unbearable... i even closed all programs!
any other tips per chance?

Enable Windows Compatibility mode with Windows 98. Compatibility mode solved most of my problems of this kind.
