    Firstly, make sure you have any patches that are available. You may also need a mod like OSP to play any of the decent online modes.

    And finally, do you own a Quake 3 key :D

    yea i have a cd key, and its entered in no problem, but its only while using the ASE that it appears empty and asks for the cd key again...

    any idea where i can downloads mods, patched etc.. without having to be a mamber of any quake sites.. or sign up to these flash quick download things...?

    cheers

    Google for the mod you want to download, most sites don't require membership. Or have a look at www.jolt.co.uk / www.blueyonder.com / www.clanbase.com file sections to try and find what you're looking for.

    Ya protocol 68 means you need to install the latest point release. Invalid CD key probably means you must delete your Q3KEY file in /baseq3 and /osp directories and re-enter your CD key when prompted.

    Macker--read this thread.

    As for the CD yoke... do what killy said:
