Does Task Manager show quake2.exe still running in the background? This might explain the launcher thinking the game is running.
Do you have the video drivers for your integrated graphics installed? Quake2 won't launch in OpenGL mode if you have don't have a OpenGL ICD present.
By "the patch from here" do you mean the unofficial v3.24 patch? That needs to be installed with minimum quake2.exe, ref_gl.dll, and ref_soft.dll for it to work properly. Just the ref_gl.dll by itself won't fix the buffer overflow startup crash with modern drivers. The gamex86.dlls are optional, but fix some frustrating issues with savegames.
