Hi !

Strange....!

Just  did the Microsoft Windows Updates
A big file was downloaded, Service Pack 7 I think

Now, quake will not load.

I get:  quake3.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. 
           We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Tried removing and installing from scratch.
Still same problem.

Any suggestions ?

Should mention I have Windows XP Home Edition
on a HP pavilion 7966 computer.

Thanks.
