Title: GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem
Post by: Solo on January 12, 2007, 09:51:36 pm
My friend had this error, i searched the forum to find any existance of another thread about this and found one, but it was to do with the TJWs client thing...
My friend has the original version, and this error comes up when he trys to start it, i told him to uninstall it and it still didnt work, hes downloading a new installer now, but in the mean time can anyone tell me if this can be fixed? just incase the new installer doesnt work either, thx.

Probably means OpenGL isn't (properly) installed.
Get the latest graphics card drives.

With only the result posted, no one can truly help.
Please paste the complete output including the reason why the OpenGL-System wont work.

Looks like the same error to me, maybe we should merge the threads and you should rework the points given on the original thread.

Hi I am Solo and I am too stupid to get Tremulous working and when I post a request for help on the forum, I start flaming the people who are trying to help me. I am such a bright lot on the tree of ignorance. Everybody pales in comparison to the light that I am. Let me lit you, or dwell in darkness for all eternity.
