Put them in id1/maps

As Bluntz above me said, downloaded maps can be put in ID1/maps. When you've done that read the Readme if included, most of the time you can load the map in quake by typing map "mapname" (like "e1m5" for example)

There's also a command for changing difficulty levels before loading a map but I don't know the command. I usually go to the start level, choose a difficulty and then load the map.


However, there are also some maps that come with their own files. These need to be put in the Quake directory, like Quake/"modname" (Quake/Nehahra for example) However, usually a Readme will explain how to install and run something like this)

7-Zip is packaging program. You need to unpack it first to use the map. You could use for example 7-Zip itself

Or you could use a program like Winrar: http://download.cnet.com/WinRAR-32-b...-10007677.html

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "Install" logo.
