I'm having the same problem ever since I upgraded to v1.1 of the Anthology. I've narrowed down the problem in the "Duke Nukem 3D - DOS.bat" in your Anthology folder, if you remove the "set __COMPAT_LAYER=WINXPSP2" lines, it seems to work for me. But then it won't be running in WinXP SP2 compatibility mode (which this line intends to do), and I don't know if that will matter in playing the game or not, but at least this gets the game running.

A official fix for this would be appreciated from 3D Realms.

EDIT: I'm running Vista SP2 64-bit
