Got something to do with directsound,if checked it won't use directsound,this way it will give less compatibility problems (i think.... :)
If checked it will give you a fullscreen display of quake2, otherwise quake2 will be executed in a window.(not for m3d users,unless they download a glide patch)
In software mode you can choose your resolution with this:
0=320*240
1=400*300
2=512*384
3=640*480
4=800*600
5=960*720
6=1024*768
7=1152*864
8=1280*1024
9=1600*1200
The same as with Sw_mode but this refers to 3dfx mode.

This will set the time of a deathmatch game.
This will set the maximum of frags of the game.
The CD-directory of quake, you maybe only have to change the drive letter.
