Hello all, new to these forums. Hope you can sort me out.

When i insert the Quake 4 disc in drive i have an error message that the program has known compatibility issues with the version of Vista. Also says to have the latest version of macromedia flash player installed, which i have.
System requirements are all ok on pc.

Is it ok to go ahead with the install, and will it run ok once i have?

Am running Vista Ultimate 64 bit SP1

Thanks

The update fixes some issues and it also adds the no cd so you don't have to have the cd in the drive.
