Can anyone help me out here? I've installed Quake 2 and was looking foreward to see the timedemo, but it would only run in software? I choose Default OpenGL. I've got the latest bios and drivers, but Q2 was only v3.19. If you know what's wrong plz, let me know!

I have the 3.20 patch installed for Q2, but I don't think that's your problem. I do recommend that you upgrade to 3.20 anyway, as it's the latest version, and appears to be running great on my system.
Now- back to your problem. You dont happen to have the 3dfx minigl installed in the Q2 directory do you? I experienced this problem when I first installed the game, but found that simply deleting any *gl.dll files from the Q2 directory caused the game to use my primary display device's ICD drivers instead.
Hope this helps.

I'm still running 3.19, and tried deleting, but it still wont run
Sure is strange... could it be the 5.21 drivers?MaXiComment

You probably have Dual-Head multiple monitor enabled...
Disable it (and reboot (argh matrox!)) and it should run fine.
