Hi,

Nothing on the "function pointers have moved" for Windows XP Professional 
seem to work.
Now that I have seen the code, I think rebasing the DLLs should work.

I had hoped that XP Service Pack 2 would cure this as reading the Microsoft 
small print said that it would make XP more like Windows 2000 which AFAIK, 
has no problem running Quake2.

But no such luck.

What I found was a Russian post where changing the offset's and bytes for 
version 3.20 in gamex86.dll gets round the problem.

For offsets for

                                    Offset in Hex            Change Hex byte 
1 to byte 2
baseq2\gamex86.dll:     11E3F                     74->EB
xatrix\gamex86.dll:        1346A                     74->EB
rogue\gamex86.dll:        1DABD                   74->EB
