I'm having a problem getting Quake 3 to run on my machine. It comes up
with the ID splash screen, then there is a brief sound (like some theme
music is about to start) and then the screen stays black and the system
locks up. I've done searches involving this game and my video card
and have tried different drivers but it still fails. Any and all info is
appreciated. Thanks. My system is:

PII-300
Tyan Tsunami Motherboard
192MB RAM
Diamond Monster Fusion Video (PCI - 16 MB)
Soundblaster Live MP3
Windows 98 SE



Thanks again.

mike
