I had the same problem as you with the opengl on my WinXP. I got a Voodoo3 2000 card. I also play MOHAA. I just downloaded one of the driver updates shown in the post earlier, and it worked! It’s new beta for Voodoo cards. I downloaded it at http://www.voodoofiles.com/4950 . I think it will work for any Voodoo card. Hope this helps.
Download the open95.exe and then copy al files to te system folder … then move OPENGL32.DLL and OPENGL32.LIB to the MOHAA directory … this worked for me with the same card : Voodoo 3

try this old quake 3 trick…run win.ini and find the dva=0 line and add a semi colon to it so it reads ;dva=0 and save then try it if it doent work just change it back …it worked on my tnt2 set up
could you solve your problem afterwords? I have the same problem as you do, I also have the same graphýc card as you do and I receive the same error message. I have XP.
I had the same problem with a diamond steath. I would get the gray screen and it would kick me back to the desktop and reset my resolution to 640 X 480. I tried it on someone elses computer and they have an intel 82810 with only 16 megs of ram, so I decided to remove my stealth card and use the i810 built into my system. It only has 8 megs of video ram and it now runs fine. It has a little slowdown but at least i can play it. I tried everything to get it to run on the stealth but to no avail. I hope EA can fix all the problems everyone is having. Kinda like buying a microwave, it not working and then being told that you can use it but only when it is fixed, when the manufacturer can get around to it. I was told it was a sound issue, so I spent hours trying to go that route. Had all new drivers and bios’ for EVERYTHING. Hell I even looked for new mouse drivers and modem drivers. Oh well, good luck to everyone trying to fix their problems, although EA should get a move on fixing this ASAP. This isnt the first time I’ve had problems with EA games, and I’m sure it wont be the last.
I’ve replied earlier about this problem with MOHAA and open gl subsystem. What did it for me and my GeForce 2 Ti card was to load the new Detonator drivers. It may be worth doing the same with your card manu’. There are new openGL fixes in the drivers
