Run the installer for the game in compatabiliy mode like pick Xp SP2 or somthing.
Right click the install.exe and select properties then compatability and from there you should be ok.

PVT you are a fast one!Oh by the way good feed back!

This game is a TON of fun. Map 17 or tier 17 is A+...

this is when games were rediculously fun!!

PM me if you wanna get setup to play on the server!!!

You know about Quake Live right? Loads of fun, and you don't have to mess with anything (except installing a plugin and create an account).
