Please Help me

Whenever I try to run a game that uses OpenGL, such as Quake 3 or the Return to Castle Wolfenstein Demo, an error comes up that says “Could not load OpenGL Subsystem” I have downloaded the newest version of OpenGL. Please respond if you have any idea what’s wrong

It might help to know what video card you have!
