Are you absolutely sure you didn't install the default Windows drivers and that your graphics card vendor's driver supports OpenGL?
If my answer to your problem doesn't seem helpful, it means I won't help you until you show some effort to fix your problem yourself!
1.2.0 release's been delayed for 5:48:00 already because of stupid questions.

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).

What kind of Video Card are you running with it now?  Nvidia, ATI...?
