    Anyone have this problem :
    both WinQuake and QuakeWorld crash regurarly when I quit out.
    The machine freezes with a black screen and a fuzzy line a centemeter
    below the top of screen. Nothin works, "ctrl+alt+del", tabbing nothin!
    Would love to solve this cos I gotta dial into my isp again and again.

    I get this same problem. It's some display driver thing. I've tried everything I know how to fix it... can't. Although, in mine, it quits out, returns to the desktop normally, then blinks into a blank screen and stays like that. I've found that if, during the brief moment when the desktop is normal, I create some animation on the desktop , it doesn't do a second screen-refresh and it's OK! Also, windowing QW before exiting helps as well. So I find. I hope that's of some help.

    Thinker.

    I have it too.

    I find if you type vid_mode 0 and then quit
    it's fine.
