I tried starting Doom 3 and it went back to the desktop with the following

Does anyone know what's wrong? I've reinstalled drivers, but it hasn't helped.

Btw, I noticed that Chronicles of Riddick also crashes to desktop. Aren't ehy both OpenGL games? If so, could that have something to do with it?

Looks like your OpenGL driver isn't installed correctly. The messages indicate that it's loading a crappy driver that doesn't support anything, which means it's the generic Windows driver. I can't tell you exactly what's wrong though or how to fix it. Try a different driver, perhaps.
