I can only play GLQuake or Quake 2 for a few minutes before is crashes and locks up the computer, then I have to reboot. Whats wrong?
This could be caused by a variety of problems. Make sure you have the latest versions of the following installed: • 3D card drivers • 3Dfx Glide Driver (if using a 3D card with the Voodoo chipset) • latest update patch of GLQuake and/or Quake 2 • latest version of the OpenGL miniport of GLQuake and/or Quake 2 You can find links to all these in my downloads section. You should also make sure you have the latest version of the drivers for your 2D card if you have separate 2D and 3D cards. You can find them on the manufacturer’s web site or in the drivers section at windows95.com. If you have Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 installed, or are running the Windows 98 Beta, you should disable the Internet Explorer desktop enhancements, including the active desktop. This has been shown to cause crashes in GLQuake and Quake 2 in some cases, and is also a terrible performance hog. If your Windows video card is a Matrox Millenium, Millenium II or Mystique, you could have a rare memory conflict pr
