Ok, I just got my dual 550 and win2k pro 2195 running.

Everything is great. However, I'm having two problems.

1 - I use an adaptec controller and a plextor 8/20 cdr. The adaptor is configured fine, but no cdr software seems to see it. Any ideas?

2 - I run a TNT (yeah, the original) and can't seem to get opengl to work for Q3. I tried the latest Nvidia 3.65 (?) drivers? I've been reading posts and it seems everybody has their own preferred hacked up drivers. What can you guy recommend?

Thanks alot in advance for the help.

what cdr software have you tried? just for the record! and you should give 3.56 drivers a try, i still have em in my files page, they are the opengl fixed drivers, which could make a difference with quake3.

Ok, grabbed the ASPI adaptec package from your site and it works.

As for the video, I loaded the 3.56 drivers from seldzar's site (yours didn't work for some reason) and now ogl works, but q3 hangs on the intro where the id logo is stamped out. Gonna search the forums for ideas, any of your own?

------------------

Ok, got it working. I used the 3.56 nvidia drivers, which got me into q3, but crashed immediately. I then used the ogl dll from the newest 3.65 and it works - sorta.

I can play, however I get these big yellow screens sometimes. If I drop to console they go away, but they come back at random.

Also, SMP just won't work. crashed like crazy with it enabled. Anybody have a better driver solution then my idea?

q3 is also really dark. Is there a fix for this yet, or should I just up the monitor brightness?
