Alright so smarty!!

A most common question (MCQ) is why does my QW crash my computer and leave a little line across the top of my screen when I exit QuakeWorld.

I still don't know the answer to this one, despite the number of queries - I have an ATI 3D Expression Plus or something Rage based, and I am not upgrading as it's a work PC <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/tongue.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=":P"> (what, work, Quake, what kind of lucky baxtard am I?!).

Any ideas?

BTW a workaround for people in the same situation is to rebind F10 to be "vid_mode 0;quit" (sets it to windowed mode before exiting) which seems to work for me.

Hi Vagga -

Sounds like QW wants to run at 16x colours but your settings are set at either 256 colours or 32x colours, try changing down from 256 or 32x to 16x in your Control Panel - Display - Settings.

Cloud - a friend of mine had the same problem (roughly) with Quake2 also, it couldn't switch back to windows without bringing the machine down - he had a mank 'ole 2D video card too <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/smile.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=":)">. Can you Alt-Tab back to windows during play? (I'm not sure if Q1 allows you to do this - if it does, does the machine still crash?)

I contacted Activision about it ages ago, the best they could come up with was to install new drivers for the card and the latest version of DirectX!

vAGGABOND: Have you tried setting your desktop to 16bit colour?

Yea, I've tried everything
but alas to no avail.

But **** quake - I never really play anyway

GL works fine in HalfLife and Tribes and thats good enough for me <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/smile.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=":)">

Next problem is how the hell to do all the cool ninja stuff in tribes <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/smile.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=":)">
