   Dismiss this info, and just click cancel. , Right click on the CD/DVD drive icon (it should say something like Quake4TM). , Click Open or Explore. , Double click it. , Do all is says to do. , If you have the standard Quake 4, with 4 discs, inserts the next disc when the program tells you to.
   
   A small window will pop asking if you want to run the disc, this time, you should accept.
   
   Do this for the rest of the 3 discs.
