Quake III Arena in Win2K Pro
Anyone else have trouble installing Quake III Arena under Windows 2000 Professional?
It keeps giving me an error message about being unable to copy/load two .url files and then the installer just quits. I can play the game fromthe CD though: just put the CD in the drive and run quake3.exe in the Quake 3 folder. A little jerky, but it runs. Help please. NPP |

Sorry about this, but it was the only way I could get the second error message on the post.
By the way, I have SP3 installed. This is a copy of my original Q3 disc that I made as a backup.It installs and runs fine under Windows 98SE. NPP |

Do you have the latest patch for Q3? ID just released 1.32. Try that then let me know if you are still having problems. Get it here http://www.idsoftware.com/index.php?...true&version=5

JCB,
I'm so sory I took so long tp reply. Been somewhat busy. Anyway, I cannot install Point Release 1.31 or 1.32, as I cannot even get the base Quake III to install. Those error msgs that I posted pop up right after I select the target directory on my HDD. BTW, I can copy the Quake3 folder from the CD to the HDD, and it works fine. I can play the game with the quake3.exe exec in the folder, but it will not update, says it canot find Quake III. NPP |

This isn't by chance a burned copy of Quake3 is it?

It's a backup copy that I took of my Q3 original. My drive was bad and I didn't want to have to buy a new copy of Q3 again. Problem is, I did not copy it as a CD to CD copy, but copied it to HDD and then back to CD so that I could add point release 1.31 to the disc.
Could that be the reason? NPP |
