Do not copy opengl32.dll from anywhere else to the quake directory
simply delete opengl32.dll from the quake directory
glquake will then use whatever drivers are installed for the video card

copying opengl32.dll from windows\system will copy the ms opengl32.dll
which uses software rendering. ,it won't use hardware 3d exceleration.
 you'll be handy capping the card severely
you wont get the max fps.
if all else fails then try using the above method
