  • Quake 3 refuses too work let alone any opengl game

    Here r my specs:
    K6 III 350
    Matrox g200
    64mb ram
    windows me (but have had 98 installed and Q3 wouldnt work)
    I am stumped as to why Quake 3 will not work. my system bairly scrapes into the minmum system requirements i know but as far as im concerned any Quake3 is better than none.
    I have tried everything at present i have the latest drivers for my card 5.52 and the latest update for Quake 3. Ive tried turning bus mastering off but no luck. Every time i run Quake 3 with bus mastering on it plays the intro movie or part of it then the c.d key screen\main menu is displayed for a fraction of second before i recieve a windows blue screen error. I have tried installing Quake 3 off both a win98 and winme install with no luck. Ive tried the matrox g200 opengl drivers on the Quake 3 cd.
    one interesting thing too note is that my g200 is sharing an irq (number 11) with and IRQ HOLDER FOR PCI STEERING and try as i may i couldnt stop this sharing. Anyway I ABSOLUTLEY must play quake 3 so any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated.

    NOTE: half life and many other direct 3d programs work fine except a few stuffed up textures which are too be expected from an older card.

    thanx a lot for your help
