Ah, hello everyone...

I'm frusterated about my Quake 3 CD key because I acctually paid for the program. I've already emailed ID 2 weeks ago, never got a response. When I want to play on the net, Quake 3 1.27 says "invalid CD key".

So far here's what I've done :

Re-install quake 3 on another HD
Clicked on Default in options menue to reset everything
Erased quake 3 and all it's files (did a search for any file containing the name quake) and re-install fresh off the CD
Went back to older version
I've also tried playing on a range of different servers...

I've tried some hacked codes, but as I was imagning, none worked anyway. So who do I turn to if the makers aren't doing their job? I want to play this game online once again...

Thanks!

This is really the best advice out there...

Even judging from your message above, it seems like it'd be quite easy for you to hit the wrong key when typing in your CD key. Go extremely slow and make absolutely sure that you're pressing the right key.
