Quake 3 Test on me me machine *doh*

tHE vAGGABOND

Right,

PIII500, 128 megs ram, single voodoo 2 (I'm waiting for my TNT2 to be delivered..) and SB Live ect ect

latest drivers for each of them, got the quake 3 drivers for the voodoo card off the 3dfx site, also DirectX 6.1

When I run q3 test it loads up, I can hear all the sound but my screen is just grey?, and i cannot get out of it, no alt-tab or c-a-d.....

I have to play this game so I can say "played it and still prefer tribes "

any ideas.........

Are you waiting long enough??
On mine when I first had it, before it was taken out of the pak, I used to get a grey screen for about 30 seconds before it kicked in.....

I got the grey screen and just pressed escape and hey presto, the menu appeared.

dunno - waited for more than a minute last nite and then re booted.........

I can hear all the sounds and stuff so I just presumed it was a display driver issue....

Plus I got about 1,000,000 free games with the PC and other goodies I bought and a few of them wont run either....

Try deleting q3config.cfg, and start anew - seems to solve a variety of problems.

Slosh

Your PC is too slow - get another..

Are you connected to the net when you are trying to start it up? If im not connected quake automatically calls on the modem, and it cant break back out to the windows screen.

alt-f4 or escape should solve this as everything works lovely and happy after that
