Hi, Using Windows XP. 1) I have no problems installing Quake and if so WinQuake runs fine on it but regular Quake faults 2) If I install "Dissolution of Eternity" (Mission Pack 2), there is a lot of complaints by the installer (I imagine the installation did not anticipate hard disks bigger than 2Gb) but eventually it does install and is playable with WinQuake. 3) If I try to install "Source of Armagon" (Mission Pack 1), it fails to install. The installer faults. Playing around with WindowsXP compatibilty settings allows me to get further but it still faults. But I reckon I can install the files manually. Doees anyone know what is the bare minimum set of files to copy over to get a functioning system? Any I need to setup (like configs)? Is this info available on the net somewhere? Thanks SH

The files for Mission pack 1 are installed in subdirectory "hipnotic". Mission pack 2, as you can tell, appears in "rogue". Don't use the installers - they change around the version of Quake.exe causing problems. Once you installed the files manually, you need a command line parameter to get them started. You can either use the batch files installed with the program, or launch the game manually. Launching Mission Pack 1: "quake -hipnotic" Launching Mission Pack 2: "quake -rogue" Be sure to substitute "quake" with whatever version of Quake you are running (e.g. WinQuake, GlQuake, etc.)

I have config.cfg PAK0.PAK in hipnotic subdirectory and similar in rogue Thanks SH
