Hello,
First of all I would like to salute the existance of this forum and of all the people sharing their knowledge free of charge.
I have the following problem:
When playing Quake 3 Arena on a HP DC 5800 PC, I get the following error:
“GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem”
I’ve tried playing it with 2 different video cards, to be more exact:
an Ati Radeon X600
and an Intel GMA 3100 (integrated video card)
on which I get the same above error.
I use Windows 7 ver. 6.1.7600 Build 7600, DirectX 11
Any ideea ?
Thanks in advance.
I wish you all a happy new year!
All the best
Alexandru Oprea
