Sad
Did you tried, setting Compatibility Mode for quake3.exe to XP?

Reading quake log, it looks like issue with video mode set at 640x480 at 16 bit color, could you change it in the cfg file, i am not familiar with settings Confused

i had this issue aswell , i fixed it by installing opengl , and then manually applying the opengl32.dll somewhere of which i can't remember , was a long time ago , but it was really hard and took a lot of googling.

Re: Quake 3 arena won't run.

guys, please learn to read the console
...calling LoadLibrary( 'C:\Windows\system32\opengl32.dll' ): succeeded
also it says 32bit color depth.

Hi NASIM

we need to know first,

1. which Operating System do you use?

2. what is your latest opengl version?

3. What is your monitor maximum refresh rate? 60hz 75hz 120hz?

4. Your default.cfg

5. quake3 root folder's files list (printscreen is enough)
