There some things to do, use glquake.exe, find your primary open gl dll
and place it in the top root folder of "quake", mine is > nvoglnt.dll <
whatever it is, it is the part of the driver for your vid-card. It has to be
copied, do not cut it.

You could also find GLQuake 1.13 online, download and install it, that
makes Quake I into version 1.13, really awesome. Also make an empty
autoexec.cfg and place it in the ID1 folder, it adds features and can be
filled with commands that Quake will obey. If it is simply added to the
folder, even if empty, you can set the mouse wheel button as the back-
peddler, mouse 3, which is great for me in game-play.

Everything mentioned above also applies for quake II, though the folder
layout is different for where everything goes. You can follow it.
