Hi Gazz...

No direct answer, but a couple things to look at/try.

Next time you start a Q3 game, change to 'window' mode. Press ALT+Enter... this takes Quake out of full-screen mode and puts it in window mode. (ALT+Enter to return to full-screen mode.) Then, when the mouse 'freezes', bring down the console with the keyboard key ( ` =above Tab key). Do you have the mouse pointer?? If you have the mouse pointer, you should be able to drag the Q3 'window' around the screen. If so, this has to be setup problem (next paragraph) or rendering problem (last paragraph).

Also, check in Q3 setup... {ESC}/Setup/ There are several config settings in there. Check the different setup menus... change only ONE setting at a time and then try it.

Lastly, since mouse movements are translated into character movements, could this be a Direct X error. You haven't installed new version of Direct X or OpenGL, have you?

keep us posted on your progress...

if u know when it happened first try a system restore to before that time, thats all i got. or maybe update your drivers

Hi Nothing anyone suggested or did fixed my problem!So wartex spent 2 hours & 40 minuets trying to fix my problem for no result! I gave him remote access to my computer i think he saw all the shit i had on my computer & dilligently said "we'll continue tomorrow" It wasnt until i reformated the hard drive on my computer & re-installed windows that i saw how much crap i really had on this rig of mine ! It free'd up 76% disc space! I had quake files everywhere but the right location up to three copies of maps & servers all over the place !
'we'll continue tomorrow" I also bought a new mouse and driver that Zenex put me onto a mx 510 8 button logitech! Its like
'omg" kinda really freky cause its sooooooo totally kool now! I did it myself "with a little help from my freind's here at the DRC "community !Thanks to all those that helped me to no end and wartex for JUST! NOT ...loosing his Kool with me! Frag ya's later youre all in grave danger!! yipeeeeeee!!!!
