Quake 3 is not compatible

I have a new computer with Windows 7 64 bit. I tried to install Quake 3 on my new machine and I get a message saying that the program is not compatible. So I use compatibility troubleshooting to try to open/Q3 of windows xp service pack 2 installation - and it will not install or run anything. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you.

Hi leendaboo,

Please follow the steps of randomrat, if it does not help I advise you to contact the manufacturer for assistance. Here is a link that might be useful to contact the Publisher of the game.

As a solution to the issue, I suggest you to change the Vista compatibility and check if you can install or alternatively you can use Windows XP mode, if your edition of Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate or enterprise.

To download Windows XP mode use one of the following links below.

  • Extra folder columns 1.1.5 is not compatible and I need

    I'm really annoyed because my thunderbird has been automatically updated to 38.1.0 and since then I can't use the extra folder columns 1.1.5 Add-on very useful for me, because it is not compatible with thunderbird 38.1.0.

  • What does this mean and how to fix: the router address you entered is not compatible with your WAN IP address.

    I connect to an access provider via Airport Extreme, which is extended through two Airport Express.  When I try to edit anything in one of these devices, even a name, I get this message: "you have entered the address of the router is not compatible with your WAN IP address.  My connection seems to work, but there is clearly something wrong with her.  The Express has no DNS and will not update without the same message.  I have no idea what this is all about and will greatly appreciate the ideas.

    This means that WAN Setup does not or does not install across the network.

    The best way to solve this problem is beginning on...

    Reset all three at the factory and reconfigure each in turn. Do the extreme first and make sure it works... Then add the express.

    If you need help with that we will need to know which modem or modem router to your ISP gave you and possibly the type of services to wide band... and who is the provider.

    Give us screenshots of each installer as you do.

  • New iPhone is not compatible with Macbook

    I upgraded my iPhone and found that it is not compatible with my MacBook running 10.6.8. I have a lot of music that I have not bought on the iTunes store I can't transfer it to my phone. Is there a software that I can use it, or I have to buy a new computer for $1000 to work on my iPhone?

    If your old MacBook cannot run at 10.8.5, you will need to either buy a new computer, or you can run Windows using Boot Camp or a virtual machine and synchronize your phone with it. You will need to install Windows 7 or higher. VirtualBox is free and should be able to manage currently running Windows 7 and iTunes well enough to allow you to sync your music with iTunes.

    In the meantime, you can start saving for a new computer. You do not specify which MacBook model, you have, but it must be at least 5 years now.

  • Have the phone Nokia 635, to synchronize the pc with Firefox. Why can I not? Poor show if not compatible must be a way, surely?

    Very new to Firefox - but like her. Have 635 Nokia phone and I thought would be easy to synchronize the two, but apparently, they are not compatible?
    Is it possible to sync - I am a novice to this simple of terms please! Thks

    HI Evie.
    What version of FIrefox OS is on the Nokia 635? If Firefox OS isn't on this phone, and it runs Windows, so it is true that the device doesn't support Firefox for mobile. (Currently there is development of Firefox for Android and IOS)

  • The add-on works with Firefox 33.0 on a single computer, but on a different computer, Firefox 33.0 indicates that the module is not compatible.

    I have a laptop and a desktop computer. Both are HP and both have recently been updated with the latest version of 8.1 and 33.0 Firefox Windows. On the desktop, Norton Toolbar still works fine. However, on the laptop, Norton Toolbar is disabled and the modules Web page has a message saying that Norton Toolbar is not compatible with Firefox 33.0. Why is this compatible on my desk, but not on my laptop?

    Hello, according to norton toolbar is already compatible with firefox versions, including the current version. Please run the norton utility liveupdate repeatedly & until all components are up-to-date. Additionally, make sure that the toolbar is enabled under firefox > addons > extension thereafter.

    Update information tells me that the new update is not compatible with my Dashlane add - I depend for my home business. Yet, I get these reminders and notice each time that I use Firefox. I just want to stop! I would rather not uninstall Firefox and start using Safari as my main browser - but I will if I continue to be harassed.

  • Old favorites are not compatible with the version 20 + Firefox

    General information:
    I use the old client version 3.6 given that an old utility addon author stopped update and will not work with the new revisions. Despite disabling the update featured on: config and in preferences, the browser refreshes still finished (initially I was using 3.4 and would prefer to use that, but no matter how I try I can is no longer cancel 3.6 to 3.4 even if I reinstall using an Installer 3.4). Accordingly, I had the habit of keeping a copy of my directory of firefox where it updates again without asking, she has. This could help the guy out to meet countless people who have lost their favorites because of the upgrade released this year and I hope that someone to investigate and release a patch/utility to fix the problem.

    Question:
    I checked that the most recent customer since at least version 20 and leave, are not compatible with the old bookmark JSON files. Those who have been upgraded to the latest revision not only lose their favorites, but cannot restore them either, as Firefox only returns the error message: "unable to process the Backup File.

    I confirmed that the files themselves are perfectly intact with no sign of corruption and are as expected. Restore ok old revisions of browser (in my case specifically 3.6), they will not restore the most recent customer reviews. This isn't a fault with bookmark backups, but with new clients (I guess they changed the way they store information in the JSONs at some point. I note in the code for the JSONs GUID has never been used in old revisions, but it is in the most recent revision. Maybe it's causing an incompatibility problem? You just need to adjust the client so that it looks for the GUID and if none can be found to ignore it rather than decide that the file is corrupted.

    Solution?
    In my case, I had a copy backup of the old directory for review. To restore I opened the copy and export bookmarks as an HTML, that I restored in the most recent client. If you don't have a copy of the former client, the best thing would be to try and re-install an older revision of the customer and either make a copy of the program folder and use another copy of that you can use the new and old customers and you worry about the loss of an older revision, since you'll always have 2 copies of the former client (the one you use the one that you use to restore in the case of at level). Or export bookmarks to an HTML element, and then upgrade the client to the newest and import the HTML instead of JSON files.

    Please review and create a more simple solution to a problem of stupid incompatibility. ^_^

    There are a number of operations in the file places.sqlite which are obsolete.
    For example,.

    setItemGUID (aItemId, aGUID) obsolete since Gecko 14.0 - returns a unique global identifier for the element. This is mainly for use by extensions that synchronize data between different profiles bookmark.



    Former id snippit:
    "title": "','id': 1,"dateAdded": 1306666129870000,"
    New snippit
    {"title": "","guid": "5rkFafJ6AnRZ",""id ": 1, 'index': 0, 'dateAdded': 1396387525168000"}

    There are other identifier here has changed, I think in version 14
    «Note: the importHTMLFromFileToFolder() method has been removed in Gecko 14.0 (14.0 Firefox / Thunderbird 14.0 / SeaMonkey 2.11).»

    But more likely the former is Netscape format: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libra.../aa753582%28VS.85%29.aspx

    I tried this however: I installed the old version (3.5) and updated to the current version. All my favorites were there. I had to check the updates and could not skip certain steps of 3.5 to 3.6 for example. He then went from 3.6 to 12, then with todays update went straight to 30. They're all here. However nothing is perfect, backup is recommended as well.

    Back to your question, makes it easier for backward compatibility, my hypothesis is that they changed with the updates and ignored some versions. Saved profiles or places.sqlite files may be missing this change because the format changes in the update?

    My suggestion would be filing a bug at this request, providing a few cases where this would be necessary. Currently only the current version of Firefox is supported, which can leave us to the work around that you are currently using.
