Hi all, especially Semthex and Netkas.
I have been unable to run Quake 4 on my digg:
Pentium 4 Prescott HTT SSE3 w/ ATI Radeon AGP Pro
Here is the crash log, if you can see what you can do, maybe a new Kernel release (this is not a problem for only this game, but a few others that make heavy gfx demands). It creates a kernel exception:
Thank you and take care...

twas an OpenAL sound issue and not a video or kernel issue...
all is needed is disable sound then games load (beautiful better than xp)...
so get a sound card that works with osx and gives good openAL support like USB sound cards logitech or creative...

FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN'T RUN GAMES BECAUSE OF SCREEN SLEEP PROBLEM

(!!!THIS APP MUST BE PLACED IN THE APPLICATIONS FOLDER TO WORK!!!) <----------------

This is a solution that I coded for people who when they run games can't see them because the screen goes blank (screen turns off , monitor goes black , etc) aka they have a x3100 graphics chipset and like what I have on my Dell Inspiron 1525.

The application is called GameSleepX, when you run it you have 20 seconds to start your game, then when the game starts you simply press the space bar on you keyboard wallah you screen is back up and ready to play those games. I created this because of a void that existed for our problem so please show you support buy emailing Cerieti@gmail.com to let me know if this has worked for you!

If your an avid game player you might want to add this app to your dock for quick access, now without further ado here is the link to the app ENJOY!

If the added file doesn't work you can download this app at my website address, just be sure to RIGHT CLICK AND SAVE AS
OR YOU MIGHT BE TAKEN TO THE WRONG SITE!
