reinstall driver for your grafik card.

Re: I have a problem with the firing q3 Please help
my guess .. it could be because it tried a mode that is not working for your graphic card/ monitor ..
how did you started your quake 3 ? double clicked on quake3.exe ? or you used a shortcut ?
if you tried to enter in quake 3 using the excessiveplus shortcut, my suggestion is : move your q3config.cfg from the excessiveplus directory so it will be generated by quake3 with the default settings and it should work.
if you enterd using quake3.exe move the q3config.cfg from baseq3 directory.

it said "could not set the given mode (3)" epsi, if that equals r_mode 3 it would be pretty odd.
Also before you reinstall drivers, try default q3 config by renaming your q3config.

Hiho!
This problem seems to be the good old one 
I had many times the same warning, too. It means that something wrong with your installed drivers/baseq3/excessiveplus cfgs/files.
#1 i think to your q3config.cfg (depends whether you load quake with, quake3.exe or excessiveplayer.bat), maybe you made some changes that you didn't know-how and it crashes q3 launching... Remove the cfg file and make a new one or simply you should re-install q3 (maybe you deleted some important .pk3 file from your quake dir).
#2 try with re-install video card driver
#3 there can be something wrong with your motherboard-chipset driver, especially the part which controls the AGP/PCI-e communications with your system, try with re-install
Either of those steps had made my q3 work, yet. I hope i could help you...

def looks like the card cant accept your settings, would say drivers, then look at cfg.

Re: I have a problem with the firing q3 Please help
could be related to wrong monitor refresh rate being set by your cfg. check this also before you reinstall videocard drivers.
if you're unsure what value you should specify just set r_displayrefresh to 0.

Re: I have a problem with the firing q3 Please help
Thanks for everything, gentlemen, I learned a lot, but the problem was in the drivers, removed the old to the end, because there were a few I do not know where the new and installed from a CD-everything is fine, apparently something went wrong, because the improved graphics performance a week ago to the movies, but after the restoration did not give me back the old results, Q3 is working correctly is the most important of all, thank you for your engagement in my case and help after 100 Vodka for all Vodka
