Hello! I just got a new computer with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I installed Doom 3 but when I try to play the game it seems the taskbar keeps focus.

I just built my new computer today and put on my old PATA hard drive. Win7 kind of worked on the old system but with all of the crashes I assumed the old Athelon2200+ w/2gig was not up to snuff. When I popped the old HD in, Win7 (32bit) coughed up a kidney and wouldn't start. Of course the...
