Sarasota,I dunno which card u got but if u have an older card of geforce 4/5/6 series u can try omega versions which have those overclock options unlocked by default.Dunno how much they progressed now cause im still on 44.03 version :] If they are too old for ur card try using riva tuner.

after some fixing, i made q3 running under vista.

The prob is, all is now the same as under winxp, but not the gaming itself.

I have 3-5 smooth seconds, than a interrupt of arround 0,3 seconds and than again smooth for 3-5 seconds and than again this interrupt.

But this interrupt is not just ingame, it is already in the start-menu (where u can chose singleplayer for example or options). I move mouse from left to right, and than the crosshair stops for a short time, than again smooth for a few seconds, than it stops again (in the menue!)

So i guess its not a config problem.

To help u a bit more to support me a bit:
- Win Vista Ultimate (latest updates)
- Board Asus P5B (latest drivers)
- Przocessor Core Duo 6600
- Vid-Card Asus 7950 GT with 512 mb ddr3 (latest driver)
- 4 gig of ram
- razor copperhead (latest drivers)

So, maybe someone here withsimiliar problem? Or someone who found already a solution?

(sry for difficult explanation, but my english skill is pretty low this morning)

lol. all computers do that. i should fix itself over-time. it fixed faster when the screen flashes and goes real fast. but thats just me forcing my opinion.

vista and quake sucks Big grin

sure u can play, but there are a few problems...

i had vista self (crack Big grin) and installed XP again...

my problems where

- no gamma control ingame, so i had to to it with ati control center in windows EVERY time before i start quake, thats annoying

- often kick on pb servers, reason: empty CD-key, but key was ok.

Quake is playable at vista, but not very good =/
