Try downloading WInQuake instead of GLQuake. That worked for me, I
have been running Quakeworld and WInQuake all day today, ;-D.

You can get WinQuake from here:
http://www.fileplanet.com/files/80000/86882.shtml, and that should do
it. Extract the .zip file into your QDirectory and run the WinQuake
executable. That  also allows you to take full advantage of your
graphics performance. Hah - what irony. .running Quake under
1600x1200.
