I don't know if this will help, but I had a problem with starting q3 when I had 2 graphics cards installed and had both of them enabled (Dual Head). Q3 just couldn't start. Disabling the 2nd monitor (from the display settings dialog) did the trick.

I don't remember what error it gave me but it did say that it couldn't set the graphics mode. If you're not running two monitors then I have no idea what the problem is.
