If that doesn't fix it, then I'd look at which opengl32.dll is in use and where it is. I recall that placing that file (comes with your vid card driver AND Windows also has a version that's 'generic') in the Q2 game folder helped with OGL issues I'd been having. Q2 would look in its own folder first, then in the \dll or \driver or \system32 folder, where ever it's stored. McG.
