I've just copied over all my quake stuff from my external hdd back up to my laptop which is the same as prior to the hdd failure, except for the new hdd.
The problem is that glquake, fitzquake and tq148 all have strange blotchy, wavey, psychadelic, non-viewable gfx. Winquake and, more significantly , darkplaces run fine.
Prior to my reinstalling everything, drivers quake etc, does anyone know any possible cause?
Cheers
andy

sounds a bit like dodgy / broken hardware but yes lest see a screenie ?
could be driver based (mostly the cause if theres no artifacts before windows loads) few rare cases i seen a gfx card go nuts because of a broken agp pci express port. if you got an extra pc or a friend with compatible mainboard i suggest you test the gfx card there if the problem persist on another machine the most likely outcome is that the gfx card has taken its last breath.
