People who choose Windoze deserve what they get.

The instructions said:: “Requires WIndows 2000 or better.” So I bought a Macintosh.
Well, Stoid, we tried explaining that to Mr. Evil Twin in this thread. For some reason, he resisted the explanation with many a “fuck you, asshole!” thrown about willy-nilly.
Easy.
Stuff the keyboard up your arse and type with your appendix.

Haha, you’re too much. Try looking for demos by a guy named Patrick Martin, and then say that to his face. Unless you’re able to kill all six barons on U4M1 with only your fist, no berzerk and NO extra health. If you can, then you can say whatever shit you want.
And people call ME a juvenile, rabble-rousing asshole. Puh-leeeze.

Nah. Most people just call you tedious, dull and/or annoying.
And I’m pleased to note that you still haven’t gotten an answer to your computer problem.

Er. cough
“You’re welcome!” the Duck with the XX chromosomes said brightly.
DDG, I had the quote ready and was about to write an incredibly humorous take on the whole thing when I noticed you had beat me to it! 
Oh well, just lemme say this: “Read her whole post! She’s a mom! She says she is! Several times! Read her whole post!”
That second “read her whole post” was just in case you didn’t read the first part of the post 
And this little sentance is in case you didn’t read the one before it

Actually, I’ll amend. I can’t say that no one is able to be good with just the keyboard. It is much easier to be good with both mouse and keyboard, though, and all the best players have always used both. Why use just one?
I admit, though, that I was being juvenile. I’m not sure it could be called “rabble-rousing”, since no one else cares about mocking keyboard-using Doom players. I was really just being “JET-irritating”, which was my intention.
Besides, I thought you approved of attention-getting posts. Rather than saying “I found your OP to be rude and irritating”, which I know you would ignore, I can say “JET, you suck at Doom”, which I know will piss you off. Just trying to speak your language here.
Why oh why…
Do we give this , as someone else has aptly dubbed him “testicle with an internet connection” any more fodder? It’s a beautiful summer day. Let’s go have a picnic, maybe some beers, and rejoice that we’re alive.
And that we’re not JET.
(Oh, and JET, I hope you have to wipe your asshole daily with a handful of razor wire, you dog-felching crack whore of a fecal nugget, emptied, steamed, seasoned with sesame seeds, garnished with lark’s vomit and lovingly frosted with glucose.)
JET, maybe the reason you were picked on in school is because you were (and still are) an asshole?
Heheh, reminds me of a kid I know who has his graphics card overclocked and his processor overclocked by running on an FSB of 133MHz all the while only having pc100 rated RAM and every time Windows locks up, he exclaims, “Goddamn Windows!”
Thought there was a way to kill key combinations in Windows and that Window users would say how, or at least if it were (were not) possible. But then Windows users are …
DropZone’s idea is good. Use a boot manager to boot into a DOOM specific OS. To quote GNU (freeware) UNZIP, “We don’t play DOOM, but if we did it would be on Linux.” Linux might me a little extreme, depending on your commitment to DOOM, but a DOS (MS 3.3 or higher) would work fine considering today’s hardware using yesterday’s software.
Defrag your harddrive; grab FIPS and repartition a meg or two; install a DOS and DOOM. It would only add a second or two to the boot time into Windows when you weren’t using your computer for what it was intended.
P.S. I got 4,800 suggestions by using Google with “+key +combinations +kill +windows +98.” The first hit looked most promising.
This needs to be said again, and again, and again, etc…
The first thing I ask people that want 'puter help is “run any games on that machine, especially old DOS based games?”
If they say yes, they deserve whatever it is that they are experiencing.
As has been mentioned before…
We would have been more than happy to do that, but the OP was behaving like a prolapsed rectum, so we instead chose to treat him as such.
Of course, my mistake, I should of realized -
act not upon any internal set of morals or beliefs,
simply -
react.
Gee whiz, if only my life were so simple.
But then I’d rather ring the bell than just salivate.
Yup, here comes Acidkid and his amazing wonderhorse, Eugene! See how high up Eugene is?
Sure, I’ll tell you. It’s called resetting your preferences.
I haven’t played Doom for God alone knows how long, but if I remember correctly, the CTRL key fires weapons and the Spacebar opens doors, throws switches, etc. Try resetting your Open Door key to something that’s not yet assigned, such as the F key or whatever (F=Fire, get it?).
You think Doom is an old game, I still play ZORK. No kidding.
AcidKid, what’s it like being Yoda? Is Dagobah nice in the summer?
Father Pacelli, if you’re still stuck in the maze after twenty years, I really think it’s time to break out the graph paper… 
In my defence, it must be said that I figured out the maze quite readily.
Remember when you get to Hades in Zork, and you can’t go SOUTH because of the demons blocking your path? Look up the old Catholic excommunication ritual, then try to find the necessary elements (you need four things) scattered about the area.
I still have an old Commodore Vic-20 here that I use for playing ZORK and balancing my cheque-book. Whatever happened to CBM, anyway? They made great machines that never crashed.
At any rate, I must say that I didn’t answer that question for the foul-mouthed egotist that saw fit to make it. I answered it on the assumption that a good and decent person had that same problem and needed it answered. If the potty mouth was the only one who cared about it, I would have kept my silence.
