Thank you so much again for all your help. Yesterday I read the README file again on ioquake3 site and able to find the command to run it with the dlls.
What I have been trying to figure out is that why q3config.cfg gets updated every time I run the DEMO game? Also when I am enable the drawFPS with different max fps, it doesn't seem to make any difference in term of how long/fast the DEMO run.
