Hi All, I had been getting the "This version of Quake II will not install on this language version of windows 95/NT...etc" error when recently trying to install Q2 on my WXPP machine. After various searches through this forum and testing of different ppl's fixes; i actually found that it was few of the ideas combined that actually resolved the issue for me; so thought i would pass it on in the hope that it helps someone else who is having the same problem. Here are the steps that i took: Control Panel> Regional and Language Options> Regional Options tab Under the "Standards and formats" i changed this to show "English - United Kingdom" on the same tab Under "Location" i changed this also to "United Kingdom" Then go to the Advanced tab Under the "Language for non_Unicode programs" i changed this to "English - United Kingdom" click apply, then ok and reboot the pc; run the quake 2 setup program and all should be well. Once you have installed the game; go back through the same steps and set the regional settings back to how you had them originally, and reboot the pc. You should now be able to play the game and have your original settings back, it worked this way for me!! Let me know how it goes for anyone else if they are successful. Cheers W
