Hello All.
I have for mnay months been trying to make my stupid system work. I’ve spent so much money on it, and yet it still wont play what it was built for.
I can run Direct 3d games completely fine on maximum settings with no problem.
I have a pentium 4 2.4ghz 800FSB
512MB Corsair 3500 Memory
256MB ATI RADEON 9800 Pro
A bit (infamous) IS7-G mobo
Running XP pro.
Direct X 9a
latest catalyst driver of 3.9
and even installed the latest bios.
Sounds like some kick ass machine right ? wrong.
It doesnt play any openGL game at all, and until recently I am now able to copy and paste the stupid error message opengl gives.
This error message fromes from Jedi Academy.
HOwever, I cant even run Jedi Knight 2, Elite Force 1 and 2, anything thats openGL.
here it is:

I dont know why it doesnt work.
Please help! Thanks for any suggestions.
A friend suggested that I bump up the voltage on my graphics card to 1.7v , unfortunately, the bios will only let me go up to 1.65v (on the latest revision aswell!!)
Thanks in Advance
