pca,
I note you have been able to run the OpenGL version of Q2, have you tried the OpenGL version of Hexen II? I can run the normal version of Hexen II on XP Pro, but not the OpenGL version. I am running a TI 4800 with 42.30 drivers. I haven't tried Q2 yet. Are there any known problems running OpenGL under XP Pro, or with the above drivers?
Hexen II is a good game isn't it? You may also like the original Heretic which is pretty basic graphics but good gameplay. Heretic is also available on the web as an OpenGL version
