if u have the minimum required configuration, then the problem maybe due to a dll file.
search for openal32.dll file in u'r x:\windows or x:\windows\system32 folder, make a backup copy of it & delete it from windows folder.
If it still does not run, then call idsoft or activision or search the net.

in my case, the DVD is not working. I can see the embossed images of DIGIT DVD and QUAKE 4 logos on other side.
I did not want start ne topic, so that's why here.
