Quake problems on GeForce4
Hi all
I've just bought a new PC with a MSI nVidia GeForce4 MX440-T8X. I installed Quake and Quake 3 but neither of them runs properly. In Quake 1 (GL Quake), the display keeps freezing. When it freezes the sound loops three or four times, before it all starts working again. This happens every 10-20 seconds. In Quake 3, the display flickers heavily and some things on screen appear as bright blue glitches. After a while, it throws an exception and a dialog box appears saying something like "The instruction at "0x0044834f" attempted to read protected memory". Then the game shuts down and when I get back to Windows (XP), the display settings have gone haywire and I need to reboot to fix it. I've tried the latest drivers from MSI and nvidia. Neither made any difference. WinQuake works fine by the way. It's just the GL versions that won't work. Can anyone help? Thanks |

Thanks For both games check in the games folders for the opengl32.dll and rename it.This will allow the system to use the Nvidia openGL drivers.

John Hmmm.In the original quake that file is installed by default,I know as It's the main game I still play online(and still the best). opengl32.dll If it's not there than your install of Quake ain't right. However you may have Opengl problems.If so download the free,"Rivatuner", http://www.guru3d.com/rivatuner/ and use it to go through all your normal settings as it has a hidden registry checker,fixer. -- Free Windows/PC help, http://www.geocities.com/sheppola/trouble.html email shepATpartyheld.de Free songs download, http://www.soundclick.com/bands/8/nomessiahsmusic.htm |
