Q3/XP under Vista

i had dualboot before, and still have, so i never had real prob, my goal was to make q3 running smoot on vista, and i made it, even if i cant help clearly others now, just can say

- update all u can
- try default config and see if u still have the same prob, than u can start troubleshooting.

mow, just a tought, did you have pb_sv_enable on your own PC?

that is something that would get cleared with default cfg.
