Quake 3, win2k video problems....

This is a discussion about Quake 3, win2k video problems.... in the Windows Games category; Ok, at first Quake 3 didn't run at all, but then I got the new Voodoo3 drivers from Seldzar's site and now it runs. But now a red screen appears before the main menu, and when that comes up the video is screwed up.

Ok, at first Quake 3 didn't run at all, but then I got the new Voodoo3 drivers from Seldzar's site and now it runs. But now a red screen appears before the main menu, and when that comes up the video is screwed up. Is this due to faulty drivers or something similar? Anyone else have this problem before? Thanks!

Did you edit the .inf file from seldzar's site to reflect your voodoo's clock speed?
Cheers,

Nope, I didn't. Can you tell me what I change in the .inf file? I remember seeing that somewhere when I got the new drivers, but I can't find it now. I've got a V3 2000.
 
Thanks!

You don't need to change thing just up your Desktop color to 24 or 32bit color.

Also reset all your graphic settings in q3 to defaults and then start resetting them up. Don't set the color depth to 32 or the texture depth to 32. leave them at default.

Sweet, that did it. Q3 Test anyways... I'm getting a weird error when I run Q3 final. It saya "user interface is version 4, expected version 3." But that's probably something different altogether. Thanks guys!
