Quake III Arena keeps crashing at random, i have all the latest drivers for Quake III Arena, Graphics, Sound, you name it its updated but no luck. I am having to use windows 2000 to play it and it works fine, but i would prefer to use in windows xp

has any one had this problem or got any suggestions to fix this problem please help!


Thanks in advance :D
 
Quake III runs fine on my machine. Have you tried to un-install and reinstall it?
 
No error message just keeps on restarting my computer when it loads back up no error message apears it just looks like nothing has happened.

I have tried taking it off and putting it back on but still no luck
 
are you trying to use multiplayer? Is so are you using a firewall? bisable it

Right click on "My Computer" --> properties --> advanced tab --> startup and recovery "settings" button --> under "system failure" untick "automatically restart".

The next time it happens, it should give you a blue screen error. Copy down the error including all numbers. Should look something like : 0x000.....etc. Post the error here and we can help from there.
 
You could also look in the "event viewer" and it might tell you or atleast guide you in the right direction.
 
Thank you for your reply's i have been away on holiday, The error refers to my nividia graphics card as the fault
 
try different nvidia drivers.... wid 23.11 quake kept crashing at random when i restarted ma comp.... it was nvidia drivers :p so i tried 30.82.... they gave me the same problems... but now i use 40.72 and now they r fast smooth and stable :)

well one thing tho.... do expect 1 crash wid 40.XX drivers but after that 1 crash that it no more :
 
Quake III Arena plays under xp now using the 40.72 drivers some other games crash now but I am happy with the result and I can wait untill they relase the completed version of the 40.72 drivers.

Thank you for all your responses :D

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
