Are you absolutely sure you didn't install the default Windows drivers and that your graphics card vendor's driver supports OpenGL?

yeah - if you use windows then make sure that you use drivers from your card's vendor as Microsoft drivers don't support hardware accelerated OpenGL (they support hardware acceleration only for Direct3D).
