A few things to do to make the game running:

- download the latest patch 1.32 and patch the game (that´s very important 
because at 1.17 the gl_subystem has changed a bit)!
- delete the config.cfg and the autoexec.cfg in the directory baseq3!
- change the file attributes to writeable in the base folder and all 
subdirectories!

So far so good: After doing all that and the game doesn´t start check your 
baseq3 directory contains a file called "q3console.log" and post the content 
here.

May also be possible that a few files are damaged.
Good luck and reply if this didn´t help you at all.
