Try this: http://blog.obelisk.ro/2010/09/widescreen-resolution-quake-3-ioquake3.html

You don't need to edit anything and it worlks fine at 1920x1080 on Win7 64 bit. I downloaded the demo yesterday and it took me back in time. It's a great, fun game.

What it does is create a shortcut to quake3.exe with switches as follows:
+set r_fullscreen "1" +set r_customaspect "1" +set r_customwidth "1920" +set r_customheight "1080" +set r_mode "-1"
