Hello, iv played the mod fine back when I had windows 98 but when I moved to 2000 it messes up. When ever I host a game it gets to about 90% done, it crashes and goes back to the main menu with a Error window up and it sez Hunk_AllocateTempMemory: Failed on ###### were the #?s seem to very. Do you know whats going on or how I can fix it? ty

Hmm... hardware looks good, and so do your pk3's.. Also, what version of Q3 are you running? Gen .99f has been coded for Quake 3 version 1.32, prior versions have experienced trouble.
Vengeance is the last item to load before snapshot, so it sounds like it's bombing out at the end of the media parse. Also try this:
Go into your system settings for Gen. Set for medium quality for the moment. Also, enable Compressed Textures. Once you get stable, you can adjust the resolution and other settings higher, but compressed textures always helps so long as your video card supports it. I've found that if people try to run at TOO high a resolution it crashes the game, so if you've been trying 1600x1200, that could be it. Let's start low, and go up from there.
It's also best to start Gen through a desktop shortcut as opposed to the mods menu. A typical shortcut for Gen would be set up like this:
Target: "C:/Your Quake3 Folder/quake3.exe" +set fs_game generations +seta com_hunkmegs 224 Start in: "C:/Your Quake3 Folder"
Where com_hunkmegs is whatever you wish it to be, but no more than 2/3 of your total system RAM. Some systems will cause Q3 to crash out if you set higher than 256 (mine does that).
Try giving all of that a shot and let me know if it helps.

"C:/Your Quake3 Folder/quake3.exe" +set fs_game generations +seta com_hunkmegs 224
without the 'a' in set com_hunkmegs, so don't cut and paste (unless I'm well wrong, which has happened before)

No, you do want the 'a'. 'Set' will not archive the variable. 'Seta' is "set and archive". It makes sure it gets recorded in the q3config.cfg file.

Makes sence, but is it in the manual?
I didnae have that 'a' on my shortcut.
I don't thank its in the manual.

wait a sec , what do you have running in the background ? I had this problem a lot with team arena , but I cancelled some processes in the background and that fixed it .
I would advice enditall to clean up some programmes (if it doesnt help , dont wurry , next time you start up the closed programs are back .
