i am running WinXp Pro Sp1, and i got Quake 1 to install by running the
setup under Win98 or win95 Compatibility mode (explor the CD) right click on
the files named setup.exe, and go to properties, then compatibility tab,
select wither 95 or 98 compatibility. apply, then run setup. this should
allow the instalation.

as far as actually playing it without crashing, i got it to stop crashing on
my Radeon 8500 newest drivers, by placing all OpenGL and D3D sliders to
Default settings in Advanced. it may or may not be the same for Nvidia
cards, i dont know cause i dont have one.

you may also need the fix called " VDMSound-2.0.4-WinNT-i386.msi ", along
with the recent patches, WinQuake and GLQuake.

i personally use Tenebrae Quake (it runs quake 1 with Doom 3 grafix and
algorithems)

Hope this helps
