Don't alt+tab.
Especially not from a DOS app, which is what q95 is.

don't use dos quake get winquake or glquake
with a tnt2 you should be running glquake anyhow

winquake and glquake are both win32 programs
and both don't need any external batch files like q95 to load network
drivers.

also try updating your tnt2 drivers www.nvidia.com
for the latest detonator reference drivers.

i seem to remember some problems with the via chipset
try the nivdia newsgroup you'll find for info there re the via chipset

btw glquake is the opengl 3d version of quake
and if you playing quake over the net get gamespy www.gamespy.com
and quakeworld (includes both software and glquakeworld).

don't let quakeworld of glquake install the opengl mini driver
opengl32.dll it's for 3dfx based cards only if you do intsall the mini
driver glquake /glquakeworld won't run it will ask for glide .
 just rename or delete opengl32.dll it from your quake directory.

I should have mentioned it has the same problem on trying to exit the game
normally....sound keeps going and screen goes blank...lockup needing
complete reboot.

On top of this, the system is giving explorer errors (invalid memory access,
general protection errors, page faults)

The weird thing is the other system is pretty much flawless even *with* the
alt-tab and the setup (aside from the HDD) is the same

You're actually having more problems than just that.

This bit is crucial. You've basically got some hardware problem that is
producing those frequent errors and you're going to have to resolve that.

Its always a hardware problem if you get that with a clean install of Win98.

Unfortunately for you it isnt that easy to work out where the hardware
problem is. The first thing to do is remove any overclocking if you are
doing that and see if the problem goes away when run within specs. If
they do go away, you're just overclocking too much. Even if that works fine
on the other PC, yours is just not capable of being overclocked as much.

If its not overclocked and you have ensured that the fans are reasonably
clean, rotating properly and not clogged with fur, you'll just have to try
swapping the hardware between the two PCs until you find which bit of
 the hardware has a problem. Not hard when most of it is identical.
Try with the stuff thats easy to swap first, like the video card etc.

I agree it is hardware related and would; even hazard a guess the vid card
is AGP and has over 8 meg on bord. Have had exactly the same problems when I
upgraded my video card to agp. tried voodoo3 16meg and Diamond stealth
extreme 32meg, both agp. Both caused probs. Found out it was a Problem with
AGP cards with over 8meg on bord and Via chip sets. I changed
otherboards( Went to Gigabyte Bx ) and all was well. I know that diamond
have a bios upgrade for their Agp cards to help with VIA chipset
incompatibility.
Hope this helps
