You have posted this in the troubleshooting forum. This means that you have seen a post, third down from the top, with a title in emboldened text that reads "TREMULOUS FAQ: Check here before asking questions!"

You would not have had to post this if you did check there before asking this question.

Then you need to provide the relevant details about your system. We at least need to know which operating system you are using, the make and model of your graphics card and what steps you have already taken to rectify the problem.

OpenGL is a part of your graphics drivers. You can download the latest drivers from your card manufacturer's website.

Unfortunately this is the only way to do it. You'll have to try again(correctly).
