Actually... on quake 3 the sensitivity is not the only issue... probably on
most of the games based on this graphic engine u will find that the gamma
setting from the game, is not changing anything...

I have 2 games that still won't work after installing the Jan 5 nVidia driver
to the
RTM version of 32 bit Vista released November 18

NFS Carbon Collector's Edition DVD does NOT work arrggghhhhhh
also Star Wars Battlefront II fails, both these games ask for the "correct"
DVD and EA will not support Vista at all, don't even bother

what really bugs me about Carbon is that every other NFS game I have works
flawlessly . . .

For the love of god i can't get battlefield 2142 to play! it loads up fine
but when i try to play the game i.e join a server, the game just crashes to
windows. I just don't understand it.

Battlefront II has worked for me just fine but would love to get the regular
battlefront working......One that really bugs me is actually one of my
favorites of all time is Red Alert 2....I can load it and get it all ready to
go but tells me that there is a fatal error when it goes to load and then
NOTHING....What the hell was going through these guys minds when they
released something with no backwards compatibility?!!!!!!

Try Running in winxp sp2 compatibility mode.... just a thought, Till there's
a patch ready. Works in vista x86 and x64 for me.

That worked for me when I ran RA2 and Tiberian Sun.
What sux is that there isn't a network protocol that works outside of
joining Westwood Online.
