Hi, I'm stuck,
Finally had enough of my old 98SE pc, so i've bought a nice new dell.
Its great, except I cant install Quake 2 :o(

The message I get is
"This version of Quake II will not install on this language version of Windows 95/NT. To find out if a version localized for your operating system is available for purchase, please contact your local Activision Office."

I hoped that it would still run, but it doesnt.

Activisions website seems kinda useless for Quake2.
I've tried searching for patches etc, but as it wont even install, they arent much use.

I have Windows XP Home running on a P4 1.8GHz 512mb RAM, 64mb graphics card, etc.

Please help as I have frag bait that needs a toasting...

many thanks,
Tony.
