Quake II shuts down and back to desktop

[BUGNUT]

When I play any level of Quake II that has water and I jump in the game shuts down and PC returns to the Desk Top. This has only happened recently. I have made no changes or added any hardware to the PC. I don't want to reload the game as I am almost 3/4 of the way through.

Any ideas?

Update Quake 2 and your drivers. Any changes to your settings? I had to patch quake2 to keep it from kicking me out at high resolutiions. Save files are not too hard to find if you wanted to reinstall game.

Where can I update Quake II. Is it possable to update and not loose the level where I am.
No change were made to any settings.
Update drivers? Do you mean the video card driver?

Just do a search in Google for "Quake ii patches". And you can update your video drivers at the nVidia web site: www.nvidia.com

Be sure to read the documentation of the patches. I don't know if save games will work after you apply the patch.

If the patches don't work you could try playing around with the games resolutions and see if it makes a difference.
