Windows - Engine doesn't run

newlix

hi, I've just installed DoomsdayEngine and the 5 original doom wads (doom1, doom2, doom3, tnt, plutonia)
However, when I run the engine, either manually or via the front end, DE make the Window 'BLUNG' noise and nothing else happens. the output file gives me no clues as to what might be wrong:

Executable: Doomsday Engine 1.9.7 [#425] (Stable 32-bit) Feb 29 2012 12:11:04.
Command line (22 strings):

Shutting down the console...

if i run the DE.exe manually I get this:

Executable: Doomsday Engine 1.9.7 [#425] (Stable 32-bit) Feb 29 2012 12:11:04.
Sys_InitWindowManager: Using Win32 window management.

  dpdehread

so I have one question: WTF?

thanks in advance for any help.

Please tell us a little about your system, I can see you are running some variant of Windows but I can't tell which.
