Are there any? I know y'all prefer using OpenGL, but for some odd reason, my ATI Radeon 9800 Pro has a problem with OpenGL, especially on jDoom...go figure.*crazy*

If there are any, I'd like to know what they are.

Jdoom also supports D3D (though its usually slower) so give that a try.
And I assume your using the latest drivers and not the ones that came with XP which lack GL support (typical M$).

Ummm...I'm not sure what drivers I have. How do I find out what version I have and where do I go to an update if I need it?*confused*

If you haven't done it lately you haven't got the latest which are here (http://www.ati.com/support/driver.html).

Ok...it's asking me to download the following:

Graphic Driver
Multimedia Center
Remote Control
Hydravision
FireGL
Legacy Products
Mobile
Motherboards/IGP Drivers

Which ones do I download?*confused*

EDIT : Nevermind on what to download. I know what to download now, but it's also recommends that I have the Windows XP Service Pack 1 or higher installed. How do I check to see if I have that installed or not.*confused*

Right click My Computer and click on Properties
Or System under the control panel.
If you don't have it grab at Windows Update (big download though).

I do have Service Pack 1.:D

And I downloaded the new graphics driver. I played jDoom with the new driver and all I have to say is...

*eek* *ohmy* *jawdrop* *bang*

I was like "HOLY SHIT!!! It's moving a LOT faster than before!"*eek*

Thanks Undertaker. I appreciate your help.*thumbs*

No problem.
ATI releases new drivers on a monthly basis so be sure to stay up to date.
