I reinstalled quake and everytime I start it up it runs great.. but everytime I exit quake and return to windows my screen goes black, a few b0rked green lines appear in the top of my screen and the pc freezes.. Does anybody have any clue what causes this ?? And ofcours how I could solve it..

I've had all existing problems related to Quake, heh heh.

While I used DOSQuake, I had the same problem as you, mineralwater. So to exit DOSQuake, I had to minimize Quake (Alt+Tab), then right click on the start bar, over the quake part, and click close; then answer "Yes" to the shit that pops up.

Try it. :P

i use WINquake. And alt-tab makes it crash as well.. alt-enter does not respond.
I think it has something to do with my video-drivers. But I'm not sure.

ok.. nolan: I asked.. =]

The comparison demos? If so, then yes.

"-dibonly: WQ will use only windows (both normal, framed windows on the
desktop and fullscreen, borderless windows), not any direct hardware
access modes such as DirectDraw or VESA modes, or even VGA 320x200
mode. This is the closest thing to a guaranteed-to-run fullscreen
mode WQ has."

Most 3D vidcards are unable to close down WinQuake and QWCL without this option. It cuts some performance, but that's not much of an issue with today's comps.

stub: great.. So now I know it works ;))

adam: I don't have a now-a-day-comp.... ;(
but it still works properly...

anyway.. thanks alot!

Use the real manly dosquake! GL is for P-B's. =)

dosquake doesn't run smooth, every 10 frames a slight stop occurs.. Are there any advantages in dosquake ?
