    gainward gf3 ti500 fall down go boom (figuratively), need help

    A clean WinXP install doesn't do a thing. Same glitch, same cause, I didn't bother trying all the 4-in-1 drivers and AGP drivers since it seems pretty clear that those don't help (I mean, hey, they're on my main install, same problem). I also kinda feel like this rules out any sort of conflict...

    grah. I did not, but I was thinking about it . . . will be annoying, but, bleh. I don't want to redo my settings *again*! (then again, I've been dinking with hardware so much anyway . . .) any ideas that *wouldn't* involve this? Just so I can test them first? :/

    gainward gf3 ti500 fall down go boom (figuratively), need help

    So I finally got my Gainward Geforce3 Ti500 Golden Sample (oy, what a mouthful) and am having a few interesting problems. It's currently got slightly older drivers installed - Nvidia's 21.83 - and whenever I close a Q3-engine game, it hardcrashes. Dunno yet whether this applies to any OpenGL...
