When my PC wasupgraded to winXP, it didn't prompt us with anything asking where to put it. It overwrote win98 instead of win2000. Now whenever I try and go into any games (JK2, SOF2, Duke Nukem 3D, some others) They don't start and i get a message talking about openGL. I have a geforce2 btw with openGL.
Anyone Here have this problem before on XP, or know how to fix it?

The display drivers that shipped with XP do not support OpenGL, you will have to go to Nvidia's site or your card Manufacturers site and download a newer set of drivers which include OpenGL support.

Get the manufacturer driver instead of WinXP's one.
Ignore the Digital Signature problem and keep on Continue! when installing the new driver. ;)

I know this is an old topic, but I downloaded the drivers I needed and the games work fine.

I haven't played GTA3 in a and never tried it on winXP after I d/led the drivers. I just assumed it work, cus my other games did. I also found out that GTA3 had a problem with XP? I upgraded to v1.1 and it still won't work. Also reinstalled the game. Is there a patch or something I need to d/l to get gta3 to work on XP?

Oh yah, I also checked all 22 pages on this board, and nobody had links or anything. So if this was discussed already, I'm sorry for making this a re-post.

I agree, I reluctantly posted the solution to this problem again about 2 or 3 days ago I think. Before that it has been posted many, many times.
