March 3, 200520 yr i'm running on WinME, 2400 amd, 1gig of ddr ram, sblive sound card and a geforce 6600GT when i click scan hardware it says that my system failed OpenGL. it has microsoft 1.10 opengl drivers im running on the latest nvidia drivers and i even tried some beta drivers and that didn't work. i don't understand how to get my opengl version to 1.4, as i recall geforce 6600gt supports opengl 1.5

Only Ati cards need 1.4 (correct me if I'm wrong)....
March 3, 200520 yr Author the weird part is that the game sees it as mircrosoft opengl 1.1 and i have the latest nvidia drivers. this game is driving me nuts
March 3, 200520 yr try uninstalling your drivers and installing them again... maybe try using drivercleaner...
March 3, 200520 yr Windows Me is a very old OS. And crappy one in my opinion. Although is still supported by the game publishers, MS does not provide anymore WHQL certification for Win 9x (95/95/Me) drivers. Your troubles might come from there. Your PC is perfectly able to run a Windows XP, you should consider upgrading your OS if you can afford it. Don't forget to try to get a cheap OEM license. In France you can have an OEM license by buying a CPU, a graphic card, an HDD, an optical player/recorder, RAM and floppy drive; it should be quite the same conditions in other countrys. Anyway, did try to run the game?

March 3, 200520 yr Personally, I'd go back to Win98 (ME is awful, but XP is a bloated mess). But yeah, in the long term there's no alternative to XP. Driver support for Win98 probably isn't going to stick around much longer.
March 3, 200520 yr Have you checked to see if your onboard graphic card has been disabled? had the same problem with my sound card not being detected, even though it worked fine, it wasn't detected until I went into the bios and disabled the onboard sound. You might have the same problem.
March 3, 200520 yr http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp download the 66.93 and uninstall the drivers that came with the card. all nvidia cards since the 5200 support OpenGL 2.0 when the drivers are finished
March 5, 200520 yr Author i'll try uninstalling the drivers and using them again. my motherboard doesn't have a build in graphics card, so that shouldn't be the problem. i don't like how winxp looked i bought win2k. but right now it's screwed. have to reinstall it again. lucky i don't have anything important there
