You could try a newer driver - 4.3.4037 is available from ATi
<http://mirror.ati.com/support/driver.html>
(It may be worth noting that AFAIAA, this is the first NT4/Radeon 9000
driver that ATi have released - I assume the 4034 is a pre-release version
bundled by Sapphire.)

You should also have SP6 installed.

My suggestion to you is to get a new video card.  I have had nothing but 
problems that are very similar to yours using the ATI Radeon.  I bought 
a G-Force 128 meg card and I havent had any problems since then.

Hi Roger,
               I posted to the other group. Try this, it may work, just
rename you opengl32.dll file in the quake dir and then run glquake.exe and
with luck itll work, if not...back to the drawign board. A readeon 9000
should work well.

I now tried driver 4.3.4073 (aka 7.78) for Windows NT, 
but the problem persists.
