Ok, I recently replaced my motherboard with a far better working one.

I had to reload the system..... reloading all the games.


Quake 3 is torquing me off.

I legitimately bought the game when it first came out. (Let's get that established)

I installed and added all the latest patches.


This morning I connected to a deathmatch server without a problem this morning.

This afternoon the wife could not connect to any server.... they all said "Invalid CD key".

I connected to another that once I died, it kept me in spectator mode saying Punkbuster needed updated.

I go to Punkbuster's site. I download the latest file.
It still does the same darn thing!!

Unfortunately the wife still digs Quake 3. If it was up to me, I would snap the CD in two!!

It shouldn't be this freaking difficult to get a stinking game going.

Any help would be appreciated.
