It says "Cannot Open GL subsystem....." or something along those lines. I have found out that GL refers to 3d graphics settings or something so that might be something to do with it but that is all i know and i would really like a solution, if someone here knows what i can do about this i would really appreciate it if they could tell me ASAP.

And i checked the version of the driver it had and if i read all the information correctly it is a really old version that hasnt been updated very recently (it said it was from 2001) so ive gone looking for a newer one and downloaded one which looks compatible judging from the info i saw on the site i went to so im going to try installing that and see if that helps. Thanks for the tip.

Anyway, i installed the driver that i found and it seemed to work and then i tried Quake3 again and it worked perfectly. Everything works now. Thanks a lot to everyone who helped
