M$ product is always demanding in terms of $.
Let me guess, the left thumb button fell off. I've become quite proficient at repairing them. I also have bought many as spares.

The brightness slider isn't grayed out. It just has no effect. Also, I'm running full screen. Still not getting any e-mail notification.

Re: need command line extension

I tried setting it to 1.5 but it made no difference. The brightness slider doesn't work at all. I think I need to re-install. Also, I'm not getting any e-mail notifications.

Re: need command line extension

I have one problem trying this. I'm opening it with notepad and the lines all run together. I can find the line beginning "seta g_spScores5" even though it's actually in the middle of a line. The problem is I don't know where that line is suppose to end so I don't know how much to delete. ...

Re: need command line extension

You mean the /iamamonkey command? It unlocks all the tiers at level 100. I know that works when used from the console but you must use it every time you open the game, I think.

need command line extension

I've been playing Q3A since it was in demo. Mostly in single player mode against the bots. Recently I had to re-format my HDD and so I'm having to start over rebuilding the game. I remember using a command line extension to start the game with all levels unlocked but can't remember the extension. I'...

can't load open gl subsystem

I have played Quake 111 nearly every day since I first bough it in 1999. Today I changed monitors to a 28" Viewsonic LCD. Now whenever I try to start the game I get the message "can't load open gl subsystem". Any ideas? Running WXP Pro & 8800GTS with 2GB of ram & Core Two Duo....
