ok. go into teh demoq3 folder and find the q3config.cfg
find the line "r_fullscreen"
change the number at the end to 0
will run in a window...hopefully fix any problems with rendering modes maybe..

only reason i can ever remember for getting a solid white screen was punkbuster on the full version. but this doesnt have pb and isnt the full version...so, erm...hopefully running a window will give us some sort of idea.

now the game loads but it is so slooooooow and a small window

but it actually runs? ok, good....now you need to look at settings and shit.
what ati card is it? some older ones run better on older drivers.
