don't be so harsh, he doesn't know what it means and is looking for a quick solution. Zedy has a point though. Also, most people (except for a few coughvluka,packer,ect.cough no one knows). Good luck

your video card i dont thick supports openGL or is not the right strength in megabytes

yip, i had that porblem with my voodoo 2 once, the problem is that your vid card doesnot have the appropriate opengl drivers, so you need to go and downlaod openGL for you card, which may not exist, but look anyway! oh and what card do you have?

I received the exact same message and I run a geforce 2 mx400 64 meg video card. The first thing I did was run the DXDIAG program to test my video card settings. I discovered that when I clicked the AGP texture acceleration test button that I could not see the direct X logo on the spinning cube. So I disabled this feature. This allowed me to play the game but the graphics were slow and choppy. I then downloaded the latest drivers and I am a happy camper. Good Luck.

i believe the site is www.opengl.com . they generally have or can link you to the best drivers for your card, if they exist
