opengl subsystem failed to be found?

Hello,

I am stumped. Suddenly my opengl drivers weren't being detected within Quake3. I tried unistalling my TNT2u's drivers and my opengl drivers, and then reinstalling them. I tried taking out the q3.config within quake3 and letting make another default config. Nothing has worked. Here's a copy of what my console says:

What can I do to fix this? Any help would be most gratefully appreciated!

What colour depth is your desktop at? Have you tried setting it to 32-bit (True Colour) and 16-bit (High Colour) to see if that would make a difference?
