how do I get my geforce 4 to work with glquake ?, just cuts out back to
desktop, no error or anything


Hi,

Delete the file opengl32.dll from your Quake folder (it's meant for a 3dfx
card). Then run the game and you'll find it'll work. The game will then be
using the correct one for your card which is in your Windows\System folder.

Note that to run at higher resolution you want to add a command line to a
shortcut that starts the game. Right-click glquake and select create
shortcut. Drag the shortcut somewhere useful. Right-click the shortcut and
select Properties. Click the Shortcut tab and change the Target line so
that it says, for example
D:\Games\QUAKE\glquake.exe -width 1024 -height 768
for 1024x768 (obviously you'd have a different path to the game if you've
installed it elsewhere) or
D:\Games\QUAKE\glquake.exe -width 1600 -height 1200
for 1600x1200 and so on.

HTH
