IC.. well I think it supports OpenGL just fine... it's not the latest card... but at least you should be able to see the menu..

Well, for a start:
Check these settings in your 'quake3folder'/Baseq3/q3config.cfg file:

 seta r_allowExtensions "1"
seta r_glDriver "opengl32"

 Are they set like this?

No more free typos! :)
