Try deleting Quake4Config.cfg, it might solve your problem.

File location:
Quake 4\q4base

Thanks, it works now. I tried to get a new Nvidia driver to see if that will work but that didn't do anything. I deleted Quake4Config.cfg and it works.

[Zeigen_ValueTwitch™]

I did this and I still can't do it
