GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem

Tried uninstalling, reinstalled windows, new drivers DirectX 8.1 etc. etc.
Have run out of ideas???

I have found a solution that has worked for me.
I had exactly the same problem until I found this link in another post: http://www.uq.net.au/~zzmbisho/how_to_fix-OpenGL-Subsystem.html
I followed the instructions and the problem was solved! Hope this helps!

i clicked on the link above but could not find the dva=0 line
so im still no further ahead
even went to windows explorer to find latest updates but still no joy + when i went to nvidia to download latest driver, i downloaded the primary download 23.11, have i down loaded the wrong driver???
hopefully somebody replies quickly

I have just purchased Jedi Knight 2 & Medal of Honor.
I also have Quake 3 and Star Trek Elite Force. I tried to install the new games but they don’t install I get this message;

“Error Number: 0x80070725 Description: incompatible version of the RPC stub.
Setup will now terminate”

So I tried to install them on my old Dell computer, but after installation, when I load the game up, I get this message;

“GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem”

It’s a real pain in the butt and I really need to play the games!

Has anyone else had the same problem with the first error message? I would really appreciate any solutions you have.

Much appreciated,

Luke.
