Original Quake is a DOS game, and as such you simply won't get it to run under WinXP.
Download WinQuake or GLQuake and use that instead.

Tried glquake and I get a message saying "This application failed to start
because glide2x.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix
this problem. Hmmm...there is no glide2x.dll file on my quake (shareware) cd
or anywhere on my WinXP computer. Any thoughts?

OK, I d/l'd glide2x.dll (which may or may not work - don't know yet).
glquake is not telling me it won't run because it requires a registered
version of quake. OK, so I've got a key to my shareware version of quake,
but I can't figure out how to unlock quake since quake won't run on XP. This
looks like a catch-22. Any ideas?

I've tried running flow.exe which appears to be the thing that unlocks
quake, but it gives me a divide by zero error, so it doesn't run.

GLide2x.dll is a driver that was included for 3Dfx cards, and will only 
work with 3Dfx cards, so there is no point in downloading it whatsoever.

it's the ever popular delete quake\opengl32.dll to get glquake to work story
mixed with trying to install dos quake on XP
along with an original US quake CD which needs a key to unlock the full game

Shaggy,

I have the full licensed Quake.  What's the fix to get GLQuake or WinQuake
to work?

Thanks.

if you have the full version installed you should have pak0.pak
and pak1.pak in your quake\id1 directory
winquake should work, if it's not working you could have a directx problem
if your using glquake delete opengl32.dll from your quake directory
