GLW_StartOpenGL () - could not load OpenGL subsystem

Post by **EuthanasiaOfThought** » Sun Mar 05, 2006 1:17 am

I need help guys. I can't play quake III at all and it keeps displaying the message in the subject line. I read it means that I need to install a new video driver but I'm hoping this isn't true cuz I just want to play already!

Any help would be appreciated.

The most common cause of this is something in your video system not being able to handle the game - either the card can't manage it, or more commonly the driver.

Installing the latest video driver for your card will probably fix it.

Damn so if I have the latest video driver installed for my card does that mean I'm screwed? Seriously I'd rather just buy a new computer than switch my video card.
