Well - it won''t run on a W2k. I haven''t tried it with the compatibility mode enabled, though (maybe it does make a difference), but that''s for sure it won''t run just like that. Don''t know about XP, though....

IMHO the singleplayer gameplay of the pre-Halflife PC first person shooters was appalling.

I haven''t tried it, but try going to the properties of the exe... Compatibility... Change the Compatibility mode to like Windows 95 or something. That might work, but I haven''t tried it with Quake.
