Quake III run great…

PIII 800

GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem ===== If you raelly tried new drivers, it could be that your vid card is just too old… Try to run Quake 3… if its no go, then its your card.
If you want more help… post your PC info, like the video card!

Matze, your card is a Kyro, it should have no problems running Wolfenstein. Try getting the newest, v7.114, drivers for your Kyro from www.hercules.com

larry-sf, since your system runs Q3, i have NO idea why it doesn’t run CW. I’m sorry that I couldn’t give you more help, but I’m as stumped by this as you are. sorry
