tried last 4 driver sets including 4.9 with doom hotfix
is it the computer or a bad install/corrupt file maybe?

My system is almost exactly the same other then I have an athlon 1700, I also have the game crashing to desktop as well. I have updated every driver, defraged and installed clean.
I wish someone can figure this out as the 1-10 minutes of play I get its great!
Wont get a new system till October, having this game sitting here will drive me nuts!

I had a problem loading the game when I had dual monitos plugged in, unplugging one, restarting a trying again made it work.
Might not do anything for you though. That's the only Doom 3 problem I've had, it said could not start OGL.

well i dont know why or what was the problem, but thius time i reinstalled and let doom add DX9 to my computer instead of me doing it from a download and it runs ok now. no clue.......
runs totally smooth @ 800x600x32 ati settings on high quality. doom settings all ON or maxed except game set to low detail. will run on med detail tool but has slight jerks now and then and i just dont like jerks! LOL
But whatt is really bad is i hate the game after 15 minutes of playing. who wants to spend all your time stumbling around in almost pitch black with a flash light that mostly wont shine on the floor in front of you, would be great if it were dim areas, dark areas, foggy areas, but come on. this sucks. I think ID software should pay their light bill..
