Please help...getting cd emulation msg right off the bat??

Archived from groups: alt.games.doom,alt.games.doom.binaries,alt.games.doom.newplayers (More info?)

I installed the game and the patch....but each time I click on the desktop
icon , it brings up the creature guy pic then sits there for about 20
seconds then up pops a msg that says "cd/dvd emulation software
detected...blah blah blah"

I have the cd in the drive and have not emulated this game at all....any
suggestions greatly appreciated.
Tom
