-> RTCW in Win2k? <-

[Nkcowboy]

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?

i have only the demo but it work good most of the time but sometime it crash when i use high resulotion(i have v3/3000).

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!
