GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem

hi I cant either play the game, I can start it but when I try to play the screen i black just the outlines are visible its like playing in pitch blackness, I have an GeForce 2 Ti with the latest drivers I have tried many different.

ok i sorted it
reinstalled the newest drivers from nvidia and now it works these are fairly new drivers released
Win2K-XP_23.11.exe
is the one that its working with 64 bit exe
make sure u have ur nvidia tabs in ur display setting as if there not there its not installeddrivers and xp have a few problems with the gforce ti which is what i have and they installed with minimum memory in the system
cya good luck

Hi!
ok I have the newest drivers but I dont have and nvidia tabs in my display properties anyway. Not even with my older drivers, I dont know why. Mone of my dirvers are certified though. As i said before I have a Geforce 2 Ti 64 mb.

I get the same probs wiv Allied Assault. Stuppid XP cant find the OpenGL subsystem.
Ive downloaded this nvida Win2K-XP_23.11.exe
but still no joy.....
What the heck do i do now ???
answers on a postcard...

i cant play allied assult cause it says, "could not load opengl subsystem"
how do i fix it ????????????
(I HAVE WINDOWS ME)

I am running my computer on windows 98 SE and when ever i open MOHAA it says could not open subsystem open gl, i have upgraded and updated all my graphics and sound drivers but i am still getting the same stupid problem :-( How can i fix this problem?
PLEASE Help
Sam :-)

im geting the same thing lads !! somone out there complete this sentance for me ............. "in order to play medal of honar allied assult with the whole opengl thing working you need to go ...... here and download this " ....coz its realy getting up meh " A " ...........thank you for careing

I can't run allied assoult. for the following error :"GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem". I have winxp and 3dfx voodoo3 2000 video card.
Help me plz

Try going here.....
http://www.opengl.org/users/downloads/index.html
Read the page thouroughly, and once you understand it, download the GLsetup proggy.
If you are missing the open GL components for some reason, this will fix it.Hope that helps.
Cheers

NOTE:
Your "Cant start OpenGL subsystem" is due to your openGL already being in use, thats either a flaw with OpenGL or the game, either way, just 3finger kill programs running on your computer and retry starting the game after each kill til you find which one is causing the conflict. Maybe this what will solve your problem, i found that ZoneAlarm Pro 3.0 took away my OpenGL so now i have to shutdown ZAP3.0 to play the game.

im thinking of buying allied assult, but i don't know if it will run with my video card that i have. i have a Pentium 3 800mhz/128mg ram/8mg vedio card, will it run at all? or not?

WHOOPIE i had the same problem but download what dave gives u if u got XP cuz it modifies ur video card so u can fool around with the settings of it and fix it so Medal of honor will work
thank you dave
Jon

Woohoo! MOHAA now works on my system.
I have nvidia GeForceII 400 MX 64 mb, Intel P4 1.6 gig, SBPCI128, and windows XP home edition.
I just downloaded and installed the DETONATOR XP drivers I got from www.nvidia.com (subsection: download drivers, subsection: Windows XP/2000).
Apparently... the latest version of that driver is not yet microsoft certified. But since several previous versions of DETONATOR XP have obtained the certification... I decided to try it.
MOHAA works! and rules :O).

i use the windows 98 SE when a start mohaa the programing say it this:
...WARNING: fullscreen unavailable in this mode
...shutting down QGL
...unloading OpenGL DLL
...assuming '3dfxvgl' is a standalone driver
...initializing QGL
...WARNING: missing Glide installation, assuming no 3Dfx available
...shutting down QGL
GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystemI've a SIS 300/305 and a made drivers upgrad. what i must to do ?

I have Windows 98 and i get the stupid message about no Glide Installation. Can anyone help me please?

I can run the game ok but once I try to go into training it gets an illegal operation and boots me. then when I try to load it again I get that open GL message??
I am on Win98 SE
I have a geForce4 mx 420 and glsetup doesn't
have anything for my new card.If anyone can help me I would be very greatful

First:
The voodoo3 2000 dosent work with windowsxp and medal of honor,because windowsxp dosent have any drivers for openGL.
The game need at list 32mb for video.
if u have the voodoo card u need the drivers for wimdowsxp http://www.ntcompatible.com/3dfxfaq.shtml
thats it

Hi,
always when I try to start MOHAA i get the message: Could not load openGL subsystem. What can I do?I have got a Laptop and WindowsME

i have installed the newest nvidia driver (detonator and xp - 64) but i still can`t run it (can`t open gl substystem) can anyone help me?

THIS IS ONE OF THE WAYS TO HAVE NO "CANNOT FIND OPENGL SUBSYSTEM"
USE THIS LINK COPY AND PASTE AND THE DOWNLOAD WILL START IMMEDIATLY
http://webdeploy.glsetup.com/webdeploy.121/glsetup.exeNOTICE THE GLSETUP PART THIS IS NO VIRUS!!

Hi there,
I canīt play MOH:AA because that damn console says that he canīt open the OpenGl subsystem...
I hate it... Iīve searched on many siteīs to find any drivers for nVidia but it still doesnīt work..Please help!!!

hey im having the same prob as all these ppl as im sure millions and millions are having who own windows XP. Ive searched the web and the constant complaints point to windows XP being the problem. Windows 95 and 98 only have to go to that site that has glsetup.exe to fix it but for ME and XP i still havnt found a solution.
My comp specs are:
Pentium III 1.1ghz
256 RAM
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce 2 GTS 32MB
System: Windows XPIf anyone knows how to fix this problem that everyone is having PLEASE help. The only solution i see right now is uninstall XP and run windows 98, thats it. or install windows 98 with XP.

Oh and btw, My drivers are updated with the absolutely newest drivers nvidia has to offer. IT DOES NOTHING! please help us

i have a voodoo 3 card with windows 2000
i have spent all night trying to install this gy gl subsystem
i get that error that everyone else gets
"could not load open gl subsystem" and its so gay!!!!!!!!!!
can someone please help me for i am so annoyed that with EA getting so many complaints about this problem that they dont do anything aobut it

Ensure you have uninstalled your previous graphics card drivers from "Add/Remove Programs" otherwise the new drivers will not be installed properly

ok i have windows xp and it says somthing about couldent open gl and cant find it.is it windows xp or the game

could not load opengl subsystem
SOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!
1 download 23.11 driver from nvidia
2 install driver, do not remove old graphics driver,and let it restart
3 the game should start but runs realllly slow
4 go to control panal - display properties - advanced display properties - hardware accelaration, then reduce it to 75% from 100%
5 let the computer restart and the game should run .
p.s i also downloaded detenator xp driver and installed it but i don't think it made any difference
pps i'm using win95 with geforce 2good luck

i have
althon xp 2000
512ddr
geforce 4 ti 4400 128mg ddr
win xp professional
and it occasionally freezes dure in game if anyone know how to fix this or the cause for the problem it would be of great help.

for response 35
what size cache on processor
is there enough room on your hard drive
but more than likely if you mess around with your video options should solve problem or just download latest drivers

Answer to all your problems:
Those of you with "newer" (what this actually means in computer terms is past year or so) Upgrade the drivers, try www.driverguide.com or your manufactuer's web site. Those of you with Voodoo, sorry your pretty much sh*t outta luck, Voodoo is no longer in existence, yer probably gonna have to buy a new video card, same as the rest of you with the older cards, or try downgrading to Windows 98/ME... OR Do a Dual install: you may need to totally remove Windows XP (not sure) install ME/98/98Se then use the upgrade of XP and when it asks you to install a FULL install or to UPGRADE your current version of Windows choose FULL install, this will cause your computer to have a Boot Menu and when you wanna play games select Windows ME/98/98Se and for anything else use Windows XP... This worked for me untill ATI released the update for my Radeon card. Hope this helps. Also, ALOT of todays games use the same "game engine" the Quake 3 engine, which means they are all basically the same as far as how they run and use Open GL, so if your having a problem with Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault (which is prolly the best game today) you will have problems with alot of the other newer games.
