Hello!

Well, we are having also problems with Windows XP, but these problems seem
to be from other origin.

About your problem, check if you've installed quake properly (a few files
might be missing). But also a few options might be wrong.

Another idea is to klick right on the shortcut of quake, and select
properties and somewhere around there is something like run as if it were
run in windows 95 or something, it might work.

About the dos mode, you're right, there isn't anything like that around
there. Some peaple have, next to windows XP an older version of windows
(like 98 or 95) on their computer becoase they can do things in these
versions you can't do in XP.

I hope you can use my information, Blackwarrior
