Quake 4 & Vista 64

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

Did you try to Run as Administrator by right clicking on the executable?

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