Anyway to run Quake World on XP? It says 'Cannot run on windows NT' and closes.
Go to www.megagames.com then goto the left coloum and look for Game Fixes title then click on the link PC Games. then just look for Quake world
Make a shortcut to it (if you haven't already). Then, right click on the shortcut, click Properties. Now, there should be a tab called 'Compatibility' or something. Click on this tab and you should be able to select Win98, Win95, etc. You should probably set it to Win98 emulation (but don't worry, there's no speed loss).
Hmm, It installed, but when I try to run it, the DOS screen just closes. Would Quake work for windows2K? with no special patches.
Lo M8y.
Quake won't work on XP at all, not even with the compatability mode enabled, although you may be lucky with 2k Pro.
Get yourself a copy of Virtual PC for Windows, and install Win98/Me in an image... no speed loss, no dual boot... no problem.
Why quake anyway? It's an awful game... prefer the v.oldies like Full Throttle ! LOL
Good luck anyway.

I dont wanna play it, I want to watch demos, theyre like replays, I wanna see some of the older finals matches, they still release them. My friend was I think 2nd best in America at the time (1995?), I wana see this tourny demo, the prize was John Carmacks Ferrarie I think.
Get GLQuake. Runs perfectly on 2000 (I tested it) so it should be ok on XP. Uses OpenGL so it runs a damn sight faster.
Or you could run it on Linux.... :)
