Correct, but NX protection is still corrupting windows, that means quake3 can 
effectively not be run on these systems. Apparently they need calls like 
VirtualAlloc with certain flags that does similar things as 
mmap()/mprotect().

As my 64 bit evaluation edition has expired for like 3 months already I have 
ordered my copy of Windows XP from my uni and would fix it next week if 
there's noone faster than me :)
