As the title says, I have compiled the source i edited up for the quake 3 engine and tested it out on XP. It worked great! I then tried to move it onto my main windows 7 computer and test it there. It completely crashes even before the "idlogo.RoQ" video plays. It just goes white and displays the "has stopped working and needs to close" crap. I even tried just taking the fresh unedited source code and tried compiling that. Works on XP, still no go on 7. I have my latest graphics drivers for both computers (so it's probably not OpenGL). I gave the .exe file to 2 friends on steam who have windows 7 and quake 3 and still no go for them either. I'm using MS Visual Studio 2010. Any help is appreciated!

EDIT: I also tried running in compatibility mode for 7. It did not work too well....

Does VS2010 give you any errors/warnings?
