windows Open gl subsystem

[Medic23]

Hi Guys

Normaly i am playing very much ET but my pc is crashed. It is in repair now, but I don't know how long that will take. From the person who is trying trying to fix it, i have had a pc for loan. The first thing I did was installing ET. But after installing I find a problem.

The problem is this:

GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem

I have been told that it could be the graphics card, but I don't know what that means. I don't even know if I can fix this.

 

Maybe one or some of you recognize this problem and could help find a way to solf this.

 

You can try to give me an answer over here, or you can add me at Xfire (Medic27).

hmm,i had this problem when i first installed et on windows 7,i think you need to patch your et to .6b,which you can find on our forum.

Reinstall video card driver

[SkyeDarkhawk]

More detail about the error:

An error loading the OpenGL subsystem means that your computer doesn't know how to handle the OpenGL commands, usually this is caused by a lack of the latest drivers for your video card or integrated graphics chipset. Sometimes running Windows Update can resolve this issue, otherwise check what kind of video card it is, then visit the manufacturer's website for the latest driver download.

 

It may also be that the video card or chipset does not support 3D graphics, I'm basing this assumption on the fact that the dump indicates a Pentium 3 processor... this looks like an old computer.

sounds like a shit pc without a video card

oops --> didn't check last post
