Maybe you have the same issue than in this post : http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=2102.0 ?

(note: you should have posted in Technical Snafus rather than in General)

Here is my install with vista.    open aren0.8.0

Yes delete old version (keep any custom config files you use, autoexec etc.)

Open winzip - select all - point to C drive or wherever you want OA installed - then extract and make sure use folder names is ticked.

Your directory will be set up properly and you will then see servers.
