I’m trying to install the driver for a friend of mine because of all the errors he is getting. I think we all konw the problem !? I just can’t seem to find the right OpenGL file for XP.

Can someone help me help him ??

Thanxx a lot.

OpenGL == Open Graphics Library

Your soundcard has nothing to do with OpenGL.

OK I know now. The following error was displayed ;’

Help !!!

You haven’t mentioned what video card you’re using, or the game you’re trying to play. However, due to seeing this same error message countless other times in this forum, it is easily recognizeable as MOHAA.

Have you read the “Readme.txt” file that came with the game (and has been posted on this webpage) to see if your videocard is supported?

Have you read the “Troubleshooting” section of that document?

Have you read any of the other threads in this forum dealing with the exact same issue?
