Sounds like a opengl problem.
If the screen is blank and grey, it is likely to be a problem with you
voodoo miniGL driver.
Make sure you desktop it set to 16bit colour and you have the latest miniGL
driver for Q2  (maybe KHG installed one which isn't compatible ?)

Damn .. there are so many things that can make Q2 fall over which are easy
to resolve .. you just have to know which problem it is :o(.

If you have ICQ, contact me ( 7702879 ) and we can go through it step by
step .. otherwise a quick chat on IRC.

Have you installed your m/board drivers ?
I had the same prob after a re-install, with same m/board and cpu

Someone else had this problem and the thread got a lot of replies,
Read "Mac - V2 probs, any ideas?"
There maybe something useful in there.

I did say the l8st Q2 miniGL .. Adam is right do not install the general
miniGL.
Get the Q2 3dfx miniGL and install it in yer Q2 folder.

Mort

Well, folks, installing the 1.46 miniGL did the trick.  Does this mean that
the 3dfx driver(s) supplied with either win98 or Q2 itself are faulty?

Thanks for your help
