Been there, done that. Still get some window that pops up for a fraction of a sec and goes away. I'm not sure if quake didn't install (I do have a C:\QUAKE_SW\ID1\pak0.pak file) or if this is quake trying to run. Its the shareware install. I have a key to install the registered stuff if I can ever make it run to prompt me for a key.
