i don't think there's anything wrong with your install. colormap.pcx is
apparently the first file q2 loads from pak0.pak. usually this error is
indicative of wrong working directory. e.g.: go to DOS prompt, to your root
dir C:\ and try running quake2.exe's from it. you should get the same error.
so check your shortcuts.

  Now when I
:go to install Q2 (a fresh one off the original CD-ROM), I get an error
trying
:to execute the game: "ERROR Couldn't load pics/colormap.pcx".  I've only
tried
:minimum install, since I only play deathmatch, but I've never encountered
any
:errors like this before.  Don't recall any colormap.pcx, either, and I
thought
:I'd pretty much been through baseq2 with a fine-toothed comb looking at
maps
:and textures before - can't believe I'd have missed a palette.  Anyone got
any
:advice?

:- Vermilion, sorely distressed :(
