I think you have to use glquake or winquake, but I haven't tried either of them. They are free downloads. I think they are small, because they don't contain the graphics. For online play, you need a quakeworld client, I think fuhquake is popular, and it's free, too.

I can't get Quake.exe, glquake.exe, qw.exe, qwgl.exe to work in XP Pro SP2. SO, I can run it, and in highest res, but it isn't very pretty. It is fast tho! McG.

Usually the only problem with getting glquake to run is that you need to delete the opengl.dll that comes in the Quake directory. Since when glquake was written the 3dfx Voodoo Graphics card was the main target, they put a 3dfx-specific opengl file there for the game to use. The game looks there first, then that driver doesn't work with your modern graphics card. Don't know why qwcl wouldn't work, though. I never had any trouble getting it working in XP.

I finally realized the problem was the opengl32.dll that is installed by default by XP SP2 and GLQuake. I deleted that, and for good measure copied my nvidia version over to the Quake folder. All things GL Quake work great. I don't know why qwcl wouldn't work before, it is working now. All of it is working now, and in GL. For brightness probs, I just set a preset for it in the nvidia Color Controls and click that before launching the game. No problems so far. Oh, no compatibility mode is used either. McG.

It has to be copied, do not cut it. You could also find GLQuake 1.13 online, download and install it, that makes Quake I into version 1.13, really awesome. Also make an empty autoexec.cfg and place it in the ID1 folder, it adds features and can be filled with commands that Quake will obey. If it is simply added to the folder, even if empty, you can set the mouse wheel button as the back- peddler, mouse 3, which is great for me in game-play. Everything mentioned above also applies for quake II, though the folder layout is different for where everything goes. You can follow it. Alex
