turn off any virusscanners or other background programs before starting up the game. see if that helps

[MissK8]

I have tried all of that somebody said it could be graphic card but i can play other games. Its just came on in the last couple of days.....

[MKJ]

have you installed anything recently?

[horton]

what has changed on your PC since you last played Quake without problems?

Have you got a new router? Firewall software? New operating system?

[MissK8]

Firewall could that be it ....? I have installed quake again but still will not play.......when I haven't got it I want to play and when I have got it I'm not too fussed.....typical!!
