I was told to post this on the DosBox forum. Here is my problem... When I play this game for some period of time, the character starts to run in circles, and my keyboard won't respond to any commands except Ctrl + Alt + Delete to bring up the task manager, and even then things are a bit messy as I need to pull up DosBox and click on the window to have the character stop running in circles. I am using a wireless Microsoft keyboard and I am unsure if it has to do with that, otherwise the game runs just fine. Thanks!

Which keys do you use to move the character around? If you're using the keypad try turning off numlock. You may also need to disable sticky keys in Windows if you use shift to run.

It happens to me also if I boot my computer into MS-DOS with Doom. It has been covered here in the forum somewhere. It is because we are using modern FPS controls. Try to use A and D to turn instead of to strafe.
