Well, good luck. ;) > Just for info - tried all the above and still nothing - Q3A now gets to the "brick wall" screen (before it was just a white screen + mouse pointer) and nothing happens the PC is locked up. Have tried other DirectX games and these work fine (Crimson Skies/European Air War etc). So, think the problem might be in the Q3A software rather than my hardware. Last ditch attempt is to try it on a friends PC and see if it installs on that. At elast I'll know the CDROM is OK. Thomas
