openGL subsystem

[Sythyss]

I just upgraded from XP to Vista, and now I can't play trem due to an error message saying I can't load the openGL subsystem. I know this is in the FAQ, but all it says is update the drivers, and I have, so I'm at a loss of what to do.

a full copy&paste of the error log would be nice

any ideas?

Go back to WindowsXP and install the vendor-drivers for your gfx-card.
It is a common problem with Vista.
