I wish it was that simple. After many installs, I finally got Unreal to
(almost) work. Now I'm just stuck with it in a Window only (Mode Set Failed
messages when it tries to go full screen).

I have learnt a lot about Unreal .ini files in the last few days ! One of
the things that I found, was although I had set Unreal to OpenGL rendering,
the .ini file was still pointing to the Glide rendering device ! As soon as
I fixed this, the white screen problems went away - as did the wierd mosue
bug. NowI just have to find out why it won't work full screen .....

Any ideas ?
