Quake 3 Engine Games and AIW 9800
Hello all,
Recently made the switch from nVidia to ATI, and bought an All In Wonder 9800 today (retail). I'm having an odd problem with Quake 3 engine based games now, and I was hoping someone may have had some experience with it. I always have autorun turned on in these games, but for some reasons after the AIW install, autorun is off (although it says it's on in the game settings). If I hit SHIFT (the autorun toggle button), I can run UNTIL I pressmore than one direction key at the same time. In other words, if I'm using my arrow keys for my forward. back, starfe left and strafe right, autorun stays on as long as I'm only pressing one of the keys. Of course this means any time I turn, I go back to walk, because I've pressed the forward and one of the stafe keys as the same time. This is happening in Quake 3, Elite Force and Elite Force II. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a solution? Thanks, -Mandark |

The other solution is to disable the ATi tray icon and leave Numlock on, or go back to 3.4 or older drivers. Kris |

np. By the way, it only affects opengl games, not direct3d stuff...
