I am having trouble installing quake. It is a registered version, not shareware, but at the end of the installation it says it is shareware and the game won't run. I have it installed on my other computer and works fine, with win 98, also with several add ons. This system has an upgrade win98 os after doing a reformat and reinstall of win95/98. I used to have just win 95 on this comp and quake installed fine then too, but can't get it to work now. ARG! I have 96 mb memory, 200 mgz pentium processor. Not sure what other info I need to give on my system. Hope someone can help, sorry this is so rambling.

Even if ur installing the shareware version it should work, what exactly does it say when it wont run?

it says it is a shareware version and i must have the registered version to play modified maps, which i'm not trying to do anyway, but it is the registered version 1.06 that i bought and paid for years ago.. I explored the cd and there are no folders called sw, just the install.bat which I used to install it from the dos prompt. . karla "Mike" <aoty26...@dsl.pipex.com> wrote in message news:3e0b873e$0$247$cc9e4d1f@news.dial.pipex.com... > > "Karla Bailey" <bigb...@earthlink.net> wrote in message > news:uFuO9.5768$ka5.666097@newsread1.prod.itd.earthlink.net... > > I am having trouble installing quake.

I think they only put V1.01 on the official CD. Like shaggy said make sure theres a pak1.pak which means its registered. Have you tried installing from msdos mode?

The "ULIMATE QUAKE" Buddle i know does have a windows installer that installs Dos Quake 1.08, WinQuake and GLQuake (Depending on the options you set) But this is probably off Subject but I just wanted to share the Knowledge :) Hopes this helps ~Ballz~
