    I just got finished installing Return To Castle Wolfenstein and when I try to load the program I get an error that says:

    "GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem "

    I do have DirectX installed so I can't think of any other problems. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

    Thanks!!

    I'll take a stab at this one...

    Is your video chipset OpenGL compatible? If you don't know, tell us what kind of video adapter you have and we'll be able to tell you if you can run OpenGL apps.

    Problem Solved

    I've got it solved. The card is an NVidia GEForce2. I just went to their web page and downloaded the most recent driver for WinXP and sure enough the game loaded right up.

    Thanks for the effort!

    Great news!

    I just bought an nVidia GeForce2 MX2000 32MB PCI adapter a couple days ago so I could run the new Jedi Knight II game that just came out. The drivers that came with it were version 23.11 but I downloaded the latest Detenator drivers (ver 28.11 I think) from nVidia's site too. I checked out the Demo for Return to Castle Wolfenstein and it looks awesome...gonna have to go buy this one.
