Hi guys and girls.

I just install Windows 7 Pro Edition in 32bits.
I tried to import my cfg from XP, it worked, but I've mouse problem and screen problem.
For the mouse:

I've Razer DeathAdder 1800dpi. It works correctly under Windows, but when I come into Quake, the mouse is too much smooth, and not enough vivacious.I didn't have this problem under XP.

For the screen: I've a 1440x900 screen, which works good under Windows, but into Quake, my screen is becoming square, so I've black band on side of my creen. I tried to change the Quake resolution, with a custom one, and it doesn't work "Could not load OpenGL" or something like that.

Can someone help me?

Silver.

Try editing the resolution in your config, it should be under r_mode -1 if you've used a custom one, change it to something like r_mode 4 this should make your resolution be 800x600 (just open your q3config with wordpad).If your still having problems with OpenGL then try to update your video card drivers.

With r_mode 4, I don't have problems with OpenGL, but I've Black band on side of my screen. But under XP, I didn't have a custom resolution, but Quake took all the screen. I was in 1024x768 if I remember good, but now with this resolution, I've black band on sides Confused

ok, try making r_mode -1 and doing r_customwidth and r_customheight so that its 800x600, if you still have the black band try gradually increasing the width/height untill the black band is gone, alternatively you could just have to type /+sizeup in console

Finally, I tried r_mode -1, with custom resolution : 1440x900 ( Resolution of my screen ). I changed it in the cfg, then I launched the game, it worked, and I've verified in the console with r_customheight and wight commands, and it said "r_customwidth is:1440 default: 1600 latched: 1600, same for height. At the connection, console said me that: "r_cumstomheight will be changed upon restarting", and the same for r_customwidth. So I did a vid_restart, and then it said me again " Could not load OpenGL ".

Ok it works now. Screen problem resolved.

Now Mouse problem Big grin

How can I have a more vivacy mouse? It seems like a delay time when i change of direction.

I'm @ 500Hz, I can put 1000Hz, and I'm @ 1800dpi.
