I recently found a cd called Quake Episode 1 Shareware form 1996.
This CD also has other Id shareware games and full games to purchase.
I have been having problems running this CD on a Windows XP Pro
machine.  It keeps giving the error "Divide by Zero or Overflow
Error".  The documentation says it need a Pentium and DOS 5.0 or
higher.  Other doc say it will run on Win95 but not WinNT.  I tried
changing the file compatibility to Win95 but the same error.  Can you
tell me how to run this CD in win XP Pro or direct me to someone who
can?  Thanks

Hi,

Try it with launching WINQUAKE.
You´ll need to download winquake (a small .zip or .exe File ). Put all Files
included in that file in the id1 folder.
>>From there you can start the program WINQUAKE.
Its written to launch QUAKE under NT an XP.
It´ll also give you the ability to change resolution up to 1280*1024.

Hope that´ll help you.

Mario
