[RESOLVED] Quake lll and Windows 2000 Pro.

Greeting everyone!

I recently received Quake lll Arena. I'm running Win2K pro with SP1 installed.

When I attempt to load Quake, I get an error:
GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem
I went to the Quake CD and tried to load the GLSetup, but as I'm sure you all know it states that its only for Win 95/98.

Further searched of the Internet reveal that OpenGL is supposed to be part of the Win2000 OS. Someone tell that to Quake!

Is anyone playing this game on a Win2K machine? If so-How'd ya do it and where did you get the opengl for it.

Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I play Quake 3 on Win2k Pro all the time. What kind of video card do you have? I'm running and Annihilator Pro and it works fine. The only problem I had was a low refresh rate but I fixed that.

Hi...

You need the OpenGL drivers for your video card. I had the same error and turned out the drivers weren't installed. You can probably get them from your video card's website.

I am using a Viper 770 with the updated drivers for the TNT Chipset. OpenGL is running on the system ( as reported by the properties page of the display adapter).

I'm going to try to uninstall and then reinstall Q3 and see what happens.

I've also got a Diamond Viper V770 video card and play Quake3, as well as many other games. Go to nVidia's web site and use their Detonator 3 drivers:

The TNT/TNT2 drivers that are resident on the W2K CD do not support OpenGL.

like they said above, either you need a better video card or if you can find the GL drivers for your video card, download them. that should fix your problem.
