Could not load OpenGL. Make sure that you have the latest drivers for your video card from the manufacturer's web site.








It seems like that OpenGL won't load. What should I do?
 
what video card do you have? sounds like your card does not support open gl OR you just simply need to update the drivers.

According to Driveragent, my Video card hadware seems to need update! But to do so on Driveragent, I have to pay and there ain't any update for it on Microsoft Windows Update:confused:

So, you need to have at least Geforce 2 Ultra in order to play the game.....
 
Never take note of the minimum hardware for a game all it means is the game will definitely play on lowest settings but perhaps at 2fps. That game is supposed to be really hard to run 256MB card minimum with a lot of GPU pipes x Mhz to get a good smooth running game. If publishers ran formula 1 or Lemans they would state you have to have 50hp engine at least to have a chance of coming 3rd.
