Im using new powermac g5 with a GeForce 6600LE graphics card i think. Whereever i download the 1.32 point release it always has an error when i open it. How can i fix this?

I would expect it to not run properly, and hence you have the graphics problems. The 1.32 patch will not work with the demo, and you will not be able to run the demo natively in OS X. You might try looking in the baseq3 folder to see if the any .pak files have been extracted. Sometimes extracting these files will cause graphics problems. If this doesnt work, I can only suggest you buy the game and update it properly to run in OS X.
