Okay, so I'm a slob playing quake but this shouldn't be happening, has anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it ? Secondly why can't I get quake to play sound, it seems to think that my sound driver is too old (whatever voxware thing comes with 2.2Beta). I beleive I need memory mapped DMA or something, is this a lacking in my soundcard or the sound driver ? I'd really like to play quake with sound in a window, (well, it's more than twice as fast in a window than it is under MS-DROSS for me, so that should be understandable why I'd like to get it working). Any help appreciated. Steve. steve@visint.co.uk
