It sort of works now...
Q3 will only run in a window with TV_out,not full screen.If I try 
setting Q3 to run in a window that is the same size as the screen 
(window and res both on 800 X 600) the window is off center and I can't 
figure out how to move it since the cursor stays in the window.Any 
ideas? Thank you.
