Hey, I'm useing a Compaq presario laptop with the folowing specs.

60 gb hd
512 Ram
Mobility Radeon 9200
and Pentium M 1.40ghz prosesser.

Now, I have anouther computer, Desktop that will run quake fine. It
has a voodoo card and by useing the 3dfx dll files Im able to get
Quake to run.

But when I copied Quake files over to this notebook useing my same
config file. It didnt work, It gave the normal "Cant find Opengl"
crap.

I finally found out I needed to deleat my config file so as to have
quake replace it with one pertaining to my system.
But now when I try to run quake, I get a blue screen of death. As far
as I know there arent direct drivers for the Mobility Radeon 9200
series, But I dont think drivers are the problem. I have already
placed Opengl.dll and Opengl32.dll in System and System32 folders. And
have Installed the Omega Drivers. Nothing works.

Please help me, as this is getting to be VERY annoying.

Thanks
-Tim
