So I'm trying to run Quake 3 right now, and I keep getting an awful crash at the start. It only ran one time, but now it's been giving me this error:

I tried to install catalyst 10.4 but there is no atioglxx.dll. Only a atioglxx.dl_ I think. I guess that's a component file of the dll or something? I'm not sure how to actually get the dll and put it in the q3a folder. Help?
