MOH error

Medal Of Honor start error Reads as :

Initializing OpenGL driver
...getting DC: succeeded
...GLW_ChoosePFD( 16, 16, 0 )
...35 PFDs found
...GLW_ChoosePFD failed
...failed to find an appropriate PIXELFORMAT
...restoring display settings
...WARNING: could not set the given mode (3)
...shutting down QGL
...unloading OpenGL DLL
...assuming '3dfxvgl' is a standalone driver
...initializing QGL
...WARNING: missing Glide installation, assuming no 3Dfx available
...shutting down QGL
GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem

I just upgraded to XP so this is all new to me. It ran before in XP. I had had the IE 5 & 6 error and some other issue so I cleaned of that partition and reinstalled 98 then XP. It worked before that with the same drivers.

Using a GF3, Det Drv used-22.50, 21.85 and 30.82. TB1200, Abit KT7A no raid, 256 pc150 Kingmax, 60gb Maxtor, SB Live Value.

My friend runs half life in OpenGl on his gf2. Try downloading the latest drivers from Nvidias website

MOHAA had many bugs and errors off of the shelf!!! Have you downloaded the patch?

GeForce will run OpenGL. I'm just not familiar with the way Win XP handles things.

If you don't have it already, purchase Return To Castle Wolfenstien. Similiar concept, much better game!

Thanks for replying. I downloaded the Det. 40 series and found some utilities included that I didn't have, which included O-gl settings and all appears OK. Just cleared it up this morning. Thanks just the same. It appears that it was a driver related problem because I diid load RTCW and had the same issues. Both work fine now.
