Ok, this is really starting to piss me off.  I've installed Quake][ and
3DNow! patches on every one of my friends computers.  I've installed it on
my own system at least 25 times.  I've never had a problem.  Tonight I
decided to install Quake][ again since I haven't played it in awhile.  I
installed the game, the 3.20 patch, the 3DNow! 3.20 patch, and the 1.46
MiniGL patch.  I've tried to install the patches in every order possible.  I
cannot get the any of the 3DNow! options from the Video menu.  All it keeps
offering is Software, OpenGL, 3Dfx, and PowerVR options.  Where the hell are
the 3DNow! options?  The only thing I've done differently is that I haven't
reinstalled The Reckoning, Ground Zero, and Zaero which I usually go ahead
and install before I play.  I can't imagine having to do that to get 3DNow!
to work.  Has anyone else encountered this?
