Nothing.
If I not install the game from the cd, at the begin, i say this string 
"Default material not found".

In the site he write "DO NOT USE SETUP TO INSTALL THE GAME!!!!!"

But if I must install the game?

I don't see why not; if your system meets all of the minimum
requirements except for the operating system, but it still runs under
that OS with a small modification, you should still be able to play it.

Just don't expect any support from id or Activision, and I don't think
you'll be able to play multiplayer games online, either...

Well I'm baffled. I've tried about everything including an older version
of the *run stuff and I still got can't enter the key.

Fortunately it works fine under 98. I think I'll email them on this one.

BTW, Dan never had you figured as a gamer. I'm really not myself in the
stereotypical sense of what a gamer is, but there are about 6-8 games
I've played over the years that I love.

I don't currently have D3 installed, as I finished it a while back... but
I did play it through in Linux, and don't recall having an issue with
getting my key entered.  Wish I could provide more info, but can't recall
anything about it.

I'm probably not a stereotypical gamer either, but I do love the ones I
play (all FPS's).  I probably have about that many favorites too, not in
any particular order:
Doom
Doom2
Doom3
Duke Nukem 3D
Quake
Quake2
Quake3
Unreal
Unreal2
UT2K4
Halflife
Halflife2
RTCW
ET

If I had to pick one favorite, it would probably be Q2, with RTCW and ET
in second and third.  Q3 and UT2K4 probably my least favorites in that
list.

Something is very wrong more than likely operator error. I'll sort it out
sooner or later I guess.

Looks like my list too. I love Quake also - Simple, lots of dudes to
frag, and cool weapons :-) I just recently added later verison of some of
the above.

I liked Counterstrike also. The newer versions are a PITA for those that
like online play but I really just like playing and fragging the bots.
