Please can you help me as im goin mad and cant wait to play it.
Thanx in advance,

yea my q3 doesn’t work either, i just installed w2k the other night for the first time and updated EVERYTHING!! the newest service packs, my motherboard bios, my video card drivers (diamond stealth 3 agp extreme), i’ve been on the phone w/ diamond tech support and they have been telling me dif. thing to do, but nothing is working… if someone finds out what to do could they please e-mail me jsly@pioneeris.net any help would be great!!!
When I istalled Win2K, no OpenGL would work. A friend suggested I install the OPenGL libraries…even tho hey are supposedly included with win2k I said what the heck…and it WORKED…I was playing Q2, Q3, and Unreal Tourney in Open GL perfectly. Sadly, now the OPen GL has stopped working, and reinstalling video drivers and the GL libraries is no help. Any ideas?
I don’t think this really applies to what is being discussed but I think one of you could help me. I have downloaded Quake3 demo onto a cd-rom transferred it to another computer and now I am trying to get opengl setup on the computer I transferred it to, but that computer only connects at 28000 baud so it would take forever to download the proper opengl driver for it. Question–if I know what 3d card I have (ati 3d rage pro) can I go to a web site and load that specific opengl driver onto a cd rom and then install that onto another computer (the only one I have access to that can run Quake3)
Please help–I am dying to play Quake3demo.
thanks
and again quake3 did not work.there was something about:GLW Start OpenGL()- could
not loud OpenGL Subsystem. If anyone can help
me please do, cause I do not know what to
do anymore.
I solved the problem with the Quake III engine where it says “could not load OpenGL subsystem”.
I had the problem with the demo of Heavy Metal F.A.K.K. 2 running under win95 and using the 3D Prophet (GeForce 1).
First of all I installed the newest drivers from NVidia (detonator 3, version 6.31). This helped a little but did not yet start the game.
After that I followed the instructions in one of the posts down here:
Open the win.ini and search for the string “DVA” then set an smikolon in front of DVA and save the win.ini.
After that FAKK 2 started perfectly. I haven´t yet tried it with Star Trek Elite Force Demo or the Quake III Demo but I think it should work also with both of them.
yes i have the same problem with my pine sis6326, i’ve installed the lastest drivers from pine and tried the drivers from sis, but none of them let me play open gl games! how do i get the open gl libraries then? or how do i get this to work?

I have a sis 6326 pci card + 8meg - i searched high and low for a Opengl driver for it to run Quake 3 and here it is http://www.matsonic.com.tw/sis6326/win98/326win98.exe
dont forget you still need the opengl dll’s in your windows/system drawer - you can get these from the opengl site

GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem
This is the exact error message that I got trying to open QIII on a win 2000 PIII 650 machine with an ATI Rage Fury Pro Card. I’m not sure what the win.ini file thing does as I cant find the specific line in it to change.
I have the very latest drivers that ATI offers, (believe it or not they already come on the win 2000 cd) so I dont know what else to try? Luckily my other pc has a geforce so I dont have probs like these but I would like to play QIII on win 2K …any ideas?
I also have the problem: Could not loud Open GL. I have a Savage 4 card, and I have no idea what to do, maybe somebdoy could help me??
Thanks in advance.
