I just installed Win2k on my computer, and all the nescessary drivers (including DirectX 81.). However, after installing Return to Castle Wolfenstien, and starting it up, I get an OpenGl error message. IS there something else that I must install to play this game? It works fine on my older Win98 computer.

Doesn't seem like you have OpenGL drivers installed. What Video Card is it?

Reinstall your video card drivers. If this doesn't work then checkout the 3rd party drivers for this card. Don't remember where to go, do a search on 3dfx in the video forms.

Good Luck and let us know if this fixes the problem. -JC

Game runs flawlessly on my Win2K sp2 machine, even with my POS Geforce2 MX 400.

The *only* thing that Win2K does is run the game in a window, leaving a small portion of the desktop visible. This doesn't happen at 640X480 resolution, but at least when I run at higher resolutions I can see that it is 1 AM and I really ought to be in bed. ;-)

Well, I have a Radeon 8500 with the latest drivers. Maybe I will try with older drivers. Strange though!

Have you installed Service Pack 2 yet? If not go to windows update and do that pronto!
