Strange..........I just built a P4 2ghz 256mb Radeon 2700 series 32mb DDR
and I have the exact same problem......I installed a LAN in my home and
installed Q3 on my older p3 450 no problem and when I run it on the P4 it
crashes with a white screen!

Is it something to do with the p4 or dx 8.1 ???

Same machine running Unreal 2 !!!!
