OpenGL problem
DS
When I try to start the "Alice" demo (based on Q3 engine) or Q3 itself, it
comes up with
this;
****************************************
----- Client Initialization -----
----- Initializing Renderer ----
----- R_Init -----
Initializing OpenGL subsystem
...initializing QGL

GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem
****************************************
Am running WinME, Nvidia GeForce 2 GTS card with DX8, Detonator 3 drivers
and also tried running GLSetup as well.. All to no avail..
Any ideas?
Cheers,
D
PS: Apols for the spam - but I am desperate here..

Now under here it shows that it tries to load glide cuz OGl shut down.
Try this out:
Search your HD for opengl.dll Should be in yer C:\Win\System dir
Copy that to your Quake 3 folder. Then try running the game. It seems that
your system didn't realise that yer drivers were there. You can try
RE-installing
them or what I mentioned above :)

Also, if you upgraded from a voodo to the GeForce, your problem could be
there too. :) I have noticed numerous times that 3DFx drivers NEVEr wanna
leave yer system! :)

options menu. Since you have a GeForce card and not a 3DFX based card, you
need to choose either the default OpenGL driver, or if you have an AMD CPU,
the 3DNow! OpenGL driver. I'll bet you used to have a Voodoo card (1,2, or 3)
before, didn't you?

otherwise make sure your desktop is set to at least 16bit color. Right-
click on the background, pick properties, and then click the settings
tab. Play around with the color settings, maybe that's the prob.
