need help with a Voodoo2 / Quake 3 error message

[ECHO]

The Background:
Im trying to install Quake 3 on a work machine (LAN party time!) and I keep getting the following message:

========================

computer specs (don't laugh, it's a work machine):

Celery 333
8mb voodoo2

The Question:
Why do I keep getting the could not load OpenGL subsystem error message? Do I need to update to the current refferece drivers? If so, anybody got a link?

Thanks!

Did you install the mini Gl drivers???? I had to do this( I would get the same error) before 3dfx got OpenGl in their drivers. I dont know if the newest voodoo 2 drivers have OpenGl integrated. go to 3dfxgamers.com and search minigl. Hope this helped

Thanks Dark4ng3l, I'll give it a try!

simplest trick... drag the minigl.dll from your system directory to the Q3 directory, rename it opengl32.dll. That should be all you need to do.
