Push the start button and select "Run" from the menu. In the new window, type cmd and push the OK button. There's your command prompt. For help with using the command prompt: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutoria ... ial76.html |

Well what is it you're trying to do. His instructions are so simple a 5 yr old could do it. What program are you trying to use in the cmd prompt? Try msconfig in the cmd prompt. |

Is that right? did Glquake tell you what you needed to type in the comand prompt? Screw it ... do this right click on your desktop, go to properties, settings and or advance. But if you are to n0ob in doing this task, I'd suggest you get someone that knows what they're doing to help you with adjusting your settings. |

If you are on Win XP home, there is no run command. Go to Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt |

It is listed in start as "Run". You type a CMD in the run/cmd prompt. |

At the command prompt, navigate to the glquake directory. For example: cd "C:\games\glquake\" Then run glquake passing the command line args: glquake.exe -width 1024 -height 768 -bpp 32 Alternatively, you can create a batch file in the same dir with glquake (name it 'startglq.bat') open the file in a text editor and enter only those two lines in bold. Then you can start glquake by double clicking on the .bat file. |
