First shooter I ever played was Quake 1, and I found it entirely addicting.
I must've played it 30 times to date having bought it when it was two years
old (or so) from original release date. But I was never able to get the mouse-
looking to work properly, I must always use something like q and z keys to
look up and down. I know there is a command for it that "makes it happen",
and it does work, but not like it should or as it does normaly in quake 2... it
works very strangely, to the point of deciding not to use the command.
Anyone know if there is an update for it? Is the current sale version updated
properly for WinXP? Is there some software technique that cleanly resolves
this deep mystery? Is there a hacked correction file up for download somewhere?

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Thanks all,

Alex
