Ah yes..
What you're describing is the demo, when you start the original game for the first time.
Now it freezes at this point?

Another wild guess:
- Are you running a version of Zonalarm? [or similar Firewall]
If so, this program could halt Quake from further execution while it's immediately asking for internet access / server rights.
When it does, a popup box should come up asking for your confirmation. But I heard several cases that the popup actually appears
'behind' the game... i.e. on your desktop.

In this case, your system looks frozen. Quake won't run any further, looks like it hangs.
Did you add Quake3.exe to your firewall? Try to give it those rights and check again...

Maybe we could play a game when it's fixed! ;-)
