You need the 3d drivers for your card.
99% of graphics cards aren't supported by vista, so good luck.

GLW_ChoosePFD failed

This error always mean that the renderer subsystem couldn't find a suitable mode on the system where it can draw to later on. This means it could be any of these:

a) Your graphic card doesn't support the basic modes required to play Tremulous. Get a moderately decent new gfx card. ATI 9700 runs Tremulous fine.

b) Your OS doesn't support/allow access to the required mode (i.e. the driver sucks although theoretically the hardware can handle it. This includes bad driver installation). Reinstall driver if you use an OS that's known to run Trem fine. Otherwise it could be your sucky OS.

c) There is a cvar somewhere you have set in the autogen.cfg that requests Tremulous to be run in a certain mode ( i.e. r_stereo), but the driver/hardware couldn't handle.

I bet the drivers he uses just doesn't support OpenGL, only D3D.

If the drivers came with Windows then this is true for sure - graphics drivers written by Microsoft DO NOT SUPPORT OpenGL (the opengl32.dll is a generic OpenGL v1.1 library - not a gfx driver) .

If the drivers are from card's vendor/manufacturer then it could be a lack of OpenGL support in version for Vista. That will probably change in near future.
