I cannot get the original quake to start in Windows XP. I get a brief flash of a window and then it quits. I have Windows patched with all available fix, including the one that is supposed to fix what I assume is this problem. I have also tried compatiblity mode, and setting it to Windows 95. Still no luck. I have done a Google search on this and have not found any useful information. Does anyone know of a fix?
