The exact same problem as above, sorry I don’t have a solution as I have the same problem.

I have tried almost everything, and I have 1 idea Have you tried to format your machine I am going to try that to maybe solve my problem Hey it might work

I have been reading through the forums and it looks like one-hell-of-a-lot of people have/had this problem and thanks to who ever solved this problem.

It looks like the solution is to
(1) go to find
(2) search for win.ini
(3) open win.ini
(4) go to edit or search (in the win.ini file) and search for a string called DVA
then add a ; in front of DVA and save and exit and restart your PC
(5) That should solve your problem

What do you do if your win.ini does not contain the line DVA? This line should be under [drawdib]but the only line under that reads "PNPDrvr.drv 800x600x16(0)=37,5,5,5
I have a voodo2,256meg ram, 850 pros. Any sugestions would be appericated.

rayinorlando do you have installed Detonator series 6-12.xx drivers ? Or you using WinME included? they haven’t OpenGL support at all
