Hmmmm. Did the game work at all before? Do you have patch 1.32 installed? Latest graphics drivers? http://www.nzone.com

Make sure you have the latest patch, Point Release 1.32. If, after re-installing the patch, you are still having this problem, please post here again.

Sorry!!!

I have d/l all the latest patches. !.32

I had the thought that it was just because I got rid of that voodoo5 card and got jinxed, lol

And yes it did work before this new system

try deleting q3config.cfg in baseq3 folder and let quake3 create a new one.

the crash before the icons load may give a clue that a custom made .pk3 file or mod is giving you grief.

try quake3 with just pak1.pk3 to pak8.pk3
and move all other pk3 files to a safe place for now.

video drivers may be suspect as well

Ok I tried deleting the config.

reinstalled the game and dl'd and loaded the latest drivers for my video card.

now the game crashes when I try to play level including single player original.

All the other maps are on zip disc's and deleted from my hard drives all together. still the same message.

also since I reinstalled q3 I haven't installed any updates yet just to see if it will work.

and the same crash. I'm thinking it's my video.

any idea?

thanks

P.S. team arena works fine

try quake3 at a less high quality setting and low quality sound setting .. use the ingame menus to do this.

why team arena works and plain quake3 does not sounds weird.

another guess:
try manually copying pak0.pk3 from the cd to your baseq3 folder.
if you notice the cd drive having problems
then yor cd may be scatched and creating a corrupted pak0.pk3.
