Quake win xp patch

Joined Jun 13, Messages 1, First, no need for the large text, it wont get your question answered any quicker Are you trying to install to the default location? Do you have any previous install of Quake on that machine? Is the CD clean, scratched? Also, give any more info you can think of. I had earlier installed quake 3 Arena and have uninstalled it. The CD of Quake 2 is new and scratch free. Well, the message comes before I even start the installation i.

But I can play the game directly from the Disc but cannot save my progress in the game. Joined Dec 29, Messages Joined Dec 16, Messages Yes, I remember playing quake2 on 95 back in the day. If you have a powerful enough system you might be able to run it with DosBox which is a dos emulator, not sure if it plays well with Q2. Couriant James.

Come on guys solutions not more problems Joined Mar 8, Messages 7, I can't give you the exact solution you need, just another suggestion.

My son recently wanted to play Sims Theme Park on his XP machine, but it kept booting him back to the desktop. The different compatibiliy modes didn't help. However a Google search brought up a site where someone had created a patch to run the game in XP. We downloaded and installed it and he's all set. See if any help with your problem.

Joined Aug 6, Messages See if this helps: Open the Quake 2 CD and then create a shortcut to the desktop of the "setup. Then after you have the shortcut on the desktop, right-click on it and select "Properties" then click on "Compatiblility" tab, now put a check mark in the "Run this program in compatibility Mode" box and select "Windows 98" in the drop down box. Click "Apply" and then "Ok" Now double-click on the shortcut on the desktop and see if it'll let you install the game.. Thanks and Good Luck!

Joined Jan 13, Messages Also Im pretty sure Quake 2 Doesnt even require a fancy installer, its just included on the cd to make it easier for people So you can just install the game manually I copied the files from the Quake 2 CD which are essentially required to play the game and I made my way to the 3rd level or Map and I stopped the game over there.

Please help Thankyou. Since you are using windows XP I assume, download the latest patch for quake II, dont think the developers website has it, but use www. Hope it helps! Also make sure the files that you copied over aren't in read-only status Hope this helps! Joined Oct 9, Messages 1. I set it to "English - United Kingdom" you'll need to reboot!

Not sure what everyone else in here is on about - a bunch of unnecessarily complicated stuff that probably won't work anyway! I wasn't going to reply to this, but since it comes top in Google when you enter the error code from Quake as a search string, the answer should be posted.
