???????????????? someone tell me what to do.. I'm running it on windows 2k, does that make a difference?

Looks like either you're missing your 3dfx drivers (assuming you have one) or you need to run the latest version of that opengl software it comes with. I think..

 

[Pretender]

Looks like it's having problems negotiating with your opengl drivers. Try getting the newest ones for your card.

 

[Zach]

If you ahve certain 3Dfx cards, you get to install "MiniGL" drivers or soemthing like that too... if I remember. I have a Banshee I don't use, that's where that comes from.

"C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena/baseq3"
maybe it has something to do with this last line underneath C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\baseq3\pak0.pk3 (3539 files)

If you notice before baseq3 it should be \ and not / like in "C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\baseq3\pak0.pk3 (3539 files)"

 

[Zach]

Good eye smbu, that probably would be a problem.

 

[CvAgent]

Hmm...
Didnt read it all as I am in a rush but you can try opengl drivers from
www.opengl.org
