Matthew: This is a re-post of the message I sent a few days ago detailing my attempts to install the newest version of Quake. I hope it provides some of the information you need to assist. I have, as I say, not reported this as an official bug, because I am not sure if the problem is within my basic Windows OS. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark BurningHawk To: AGRIP User and Developer discussion list Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2008 7:38 AM Subject: my saga re: upgrading Quake
Yesterday I found and downloaded the upgrade files for XP, both with and without SAPI5 installation. After removing the AudioQuake folder from my hard drive, I installed first one, then the other, with the same results: Neither clicking on the created desktop shortcut, nor going to the program folder itself and clicking on q95.bat or quake.exe launched the program. With my screen-reader on, I tried launching again, and heard something about "f:\windows\system32.exe," But it either flashed too fast to be captured, or that was all there was. In every case, the program did not launch, nor talk, and returned simply went away. After that, still not finding SAPI5 in my control panel or programs folders, I found and installed it successfully from an independent source. I proved to myself that it was satisfactorily installed, through Control Panel. Again, after deleting the existing AudioQuake folder, I attempted to reinstall. Again, I got the same results--without my screenreader, it didn't launch; with my screen-reader, it flashed something about "system32.exe," and then simply went away. At this point, I'm baffled. Everything else on the system runs fine. When I attempted to replace the older version of Quake, it didn't work either, with the same results. Can someone suggest what might be causing this? Thanks. --Mark BurningHawk Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] my website: http://www.panix.com/~mbaxter Namaste _______________________________________________ AGRIP-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.agrip.org.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/agrip-discuss
