Open GL "HELP"

[CrazyVette]

I need some help, I cant get N4 or any game for that matter to run in open gl mode, won't work with the old drivers or the new, N4 just goes to a blank screen and locks up when I select it and RTCW says GLW_START OPEN GL -COULD NOT LOAD OPEN GL SUB SYSTEM.
I have a Dell P3 800MHZ 256RAM, GeForce 256

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated

This is what I'm getting when I try to run RTCW

The dells here at work do not run anything that needs Open Gl. I would guess that there might be a patch or workaround at the Dell site.

Your problem with Wolfenstein is fairly common. See this thread for a fix:

Thanks for the help, works fine now, I deleated the DVA=0 line under [Draw Dib] section of Win.ini and all seems to be fine
