If you're on a budget (sub-£100), go for the Geforce4 MX 460 or the Geforce3 Ti200.

Have a look at http://ukgraphicscards.com/

They should all support OpenGL, and you should find one within your price range.

I have SoF2 and WinXP, and it works fine.

You could try changing the desktop configuration of your PC. If you have it set to 32-bit colour depth, try changing it to 16-bit. Also, try changing the resolution to 800x600 if you have it set higher, because it could be due to limited memory on your graphics card.

How recent is your PC?
Can you post the specs?
Do you know what graphics card you have in the machine?

It could simply be that your card is not OpenGL compliant, in which case there's nothing you can do but buy a new card. If your PC is recent, though, the card should support OpenGL.

Well it installs just fine but wheni click on the icon to play single player a message comes up that says " It is highly unlikely that the correct windowed display can be utalized with the current desktop display depth,press ok to try anyway,press cancel to play the ful screen mode instead" then i click cancel and it gives me the message that "To plat SOF2,please verify that your card is opengl compliant. If it is please updates to the latest video drivers" is there anyway i can download a open gl video card so i dont jave to spend money, I have a pretty new computer with windows Xp so i assumed that newer games would work but they dont,can you help me at all???
