If all else fails:

Find a friend with Win 98 machine w/USB port.
Install Quake on his machine.
Add GL or Winquake update.
Invest in one of those little USB drives for $30-$40 (handy device)
Copy entire Quake folder(80-90 MG) to USB drive.
Copy from USB drive to XP machine.
Double click glquake.exe
PLAY QUAKE!
