GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem


well i searched opengl and found the gldirect-5.0.2 program but since it just started messing up i didn't want to rush into using some program that i reall don't understand what it does and possibly mess stuff up even more. I've tried reinstalling and it didn't help. should i just run the program or is there something else? btw just running an unspecial pc with xp

um i read the solved opengl problem below and tried using the device managers wizard to update my graphics card which is a pretty shitty ati radeon xpress 200

i tried that and it won't work... i find the driver for the xpress 200 itegrated and the installer just tells me it can't find supported software/hardware and closes

download tuneup utilities and check what hardware you use and then google the driver
