Hey all. Tried playing Quake 3 Arena after reinstalling it on steam and once it gets to the menu screen the cursor starts leaving trails and everything begins flickering and disapearing. This never used to happen before when I had an Nvidia card but now I have an ATI one and it is happening. Compatibility mode makes no difference. I am using windows vista home premium and all my drivers are up to date. Also, when I ctrl+alt+delete my way out of it everything is loads brighter and I have to restart the computer to get it back to normal. All my other games are fine. Anyone got any ideas???
