Can i Play Quake on Vista? It comes as a music file..

[RoryMyster]

Hi, when i insert the disk for quake 1, it comes as window's media player and you can only listen to it, that means i cant seem to save it.. any help?

[Lerster]

browse the cd drive in my computer and right click - explore - run the setup.exe i believe it was or dbl click install.exe one of these will install quake, then dl any client off this site glpro/qrack/dark places/etc, an remove the glide32.dll from the quake directory.

then run whichever client you dled and extracted to the quake directory.

have fun.

or you could and i dont encourage this, but find an archived version of quake 1 full version from a torrent site and extract it to a folder, i say that because windows vista is a bitch to work around with stuff like old skool games.

I'd say grab a copy of DOSBox, because you most likely have the old DOS CD. Read up on the documentation and use that to install. Then burn PAK0.PAK and PAK1.PAK to CD so you won't ever need to do that again, store the CD with your Quake CD, and download a modern engine and use it instead: Quake.exe won't work on NT4, 2000, XP, Vista or 7, WinQuake is fine but limited, and GLQuake is just a badly broken mess.
