GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem

It says "could not load OpenGL subsystem". Install the latest drivers for your video card. If still no luck, reinstall the game from your original and apply the latest official update.

What kind of graphicscard do you have?

Its a CPU T2080...and my video card is ATI Mobility Radeon X1400.......So how could i get the latest drivers....

Try http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html

+ get the latest DirectX Nov2007 Driver.

Sry to be a pain but i dont know how to do that kind of stuff at the site for updating drivers

Latest DirectX from M$:

DirectX November 2007

Just download and install it!

Yeah looks like the graphic card driver, your Windows must have been using MS's WMD driver which has no OpenGL support.

(The monolithic DirectX installation package is linked to in the FAQ...)

Select Operational System first. then type of card "Mobility Radeon", then your model "Mobility Radeon X1400" and click go. ;)

For BarryB's post..where he put that link....what is the location to place the extracted files, thats what it asked when i opened it

Extract them anywhere you like then go to the folder where the files were extracted and run the dxsetup.exe. Next time you reboot your PC you can delete this folder where the files were extracted as DirectX will have been installed.
