GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem


my friend suggested that this problem had to do either with my grafix card in general, or my drivers for my grafix card. Can anyone help me please?

Read the Sticky.
Update the drivers for your video card.

I think he's using Windoze, you can tell by the C: and backslashes.

Yes, indeed you're right. But still, what graphics card are you using?
