i'm sure it's the video drivers...
try getting another one with open gl drivers...

i've tried the latest xp drivers and the beta drivers, both of which support opengl

it still dont work

*********** FIX *************

I have fixed this problem, thanks to ATI's advice for Hexen II.

Delete the file opengl32.dll in the game directory

Fat

That it?! Christ, how long were you trying that today? :-)

a few hours, it was worth it, as its sweet

Uninstall, reboot, re-install and then download the UNOFFCIAL Wolfen.. XP Pro patch (do a search in google)

You may want to find unofficial opengl drivers for your videocard.

I had al kinds of fuss and bother getting rtcw running on my xp machine. some 3rd party drivers did the trick.

xppro doesn't seem to want to support opengl !
