Hi all,

Today I installed a couple of Games.

1.)Quake 3
2.)Rocky Mountain Trophy Hunter II.

Quake 3 lockups when clicking on multiplayer.
RMTH-II Locks up when you click to claim the animal.

The computer needs to be cold-booted in both cases.

Both worked good on Win-98SE.
Any ideas?

Sound Card or Video Card drivers also check the game sites for patches also check the re/w software.

Fighter Ace 2 i don't think is compatible with windows ME. When ever I try to play it, it either gives me a windows error, or it locks up. If there is something i need to do and some buddy can help me, e-mail me.
