Quake3World

Hi there, I have recently found my old copy of Q3 in the attic and want to start playing/mapping. Im running windows XP sp3 and I cannot get either the game or editor to start up. when I click the exe the screen goes gray and a box says quake 3 has encountered a problem and it closes. I have been scouring google for possible solutions and every one I have tried doesn't work.

What I have tried:

reinstall 3+ times
ran as admin
ran in 256 color mode
installed 1.32 patch
ran in every compatibility mode
reinstalled again

help plz!

What problem does quake 3 says it encountered. We can't really help you based on the fact that Quake 3 has encountered "a problem". That much is obvious from the fact it won't start
