Wolfenstein Video Issue

[Alaron]

I tried to open Return to Castle Wolfenstein today, and it would not run. I got the following message:

My video card is a Geforce2 GTS-V. I havent changed any settings or drivers. Do I need to upgrade my drivers? TIA

What operating system are you on? I cant recall right off the top of my head, but I remember someone mentioning something about certain operating systems would cause conflicts when trying to open DOS based applications. Ill do some looking around and see if I can find that article or post again.

I am using Windows XP Professional. I upgraded my drivers to the 30.82s from NVIDIA. I still get the same message. What do I need to overcome this OpenGL issue? The only change since the last time I played this game is upgrading from Windows98 to XP. TIA

This is a fairly common problem:

Go into folder /Return to castle wolfenstein/gl/

Delete/Rename the two .dll files (Openglv5.dll, Openglv3.dll).

--- For Win9x,Me !
Copy from \Windows\System\opengl32.dll

--- For WinXP,2k !
Copy from \Windows\System32\opengl32.dll

Thanks a bunch Prew, it worked like a charm!
