Make sure you are running the latest drivers for your hardware, and then get the q3arena compatible drivers for your V^2 from www.3dfx.com

Thats what cured my problems, when I still had a V^2.

your looking for the miniGL drivers....
you might also use the glsetup on the q3 cd..
itll take you to the web site get the correct drivers for you... do the online update, or youll end up downloading a bunch of junk you don need...you might try the wicked gl drivers.. although i thought they sucked..you sacrifice quality for frames
