To all Win2k and XP nvidia OpenGL Probs!!

Try to enter this key to your registry. It help me everytime I install a new Vvidia driver!

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\OpenGLDrivers]
“RIVATNT”=“nvoglnt”

Good Luck!

still doesnt work with me, im winxp user…
got a nvidia gforce 2 mx

A friend just bought a new Dell with XP, Nvidia GF 4 card. When he tries to run Urban Terror he get this message “GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem”. Same thing I get on an old sytem running Voodoo 3 PCI card??? Anyone solved this?

Thanks…

I got to say that I don’t use the last 40.72 nvidia driver. I actually use the Detonator 6.31. I test the registry fix on the 40.72 driver and it is true that it have NO effect at all.
I can only say to try with a driver in the series 5.xx, 6.xx or 7.xx. I also have some registry tweaks for better driver settings… here is for the 6.31 dirver on win2k:
