GL under win2k

Everything on my system that uses opengl runs fine(quake3, gl screensavers, demos), except a couple of the NeHe tutorials. I can’t get the outline fonts to resize when using
font = CreateFont(
-12, <–changing this
0,
0,
0,
FW_BOLD,
FALSE,
FALSE,
FALSE,
ANSI_CHARSET,
OUT_TT_PRECIS,
CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS,
ANTIALIASED_QUALITY,
FF_DONTCARE|DEFAULT_PITCH,
“Comic Sans MS”);

I also can’t get the fog effect to work at all on 2k, but the same executable is fine on my win98 machine. Could I have something installed wrong. I’ve installed the gl drivers from 3dfx for my v3 2000 already and opengl32.dll and glu32.dll are in my \winnt\system32 dir. Any ideas?
