I'm trying to install Quake 2 on my second PC. The PC is running Windows XP Professional SP1, has MSI KT266A mobo, AMD 2100+ CPU, and MSI GeForce2 Ti Pro with Detonator 44.03 drivers, and DirectX 8.1.
Find someone else to loan you their disc. <BR><BR>Alternately, keep the install files - just install the latest Windows patch, and then copy the original .PAK files into the appropriate directories.
Step 1: Buy and install Quake from Steam or GOG. Step 2: Choose and download a Quake engine source port. Step 3: Install your source port. Extract the source port zip file into your Quake folder.
