I recently bought this game and installed it and all that stuff but when I go to play it i get the following error message

V40_GL Error

[OpenGL]

OpenGL 1.1 or higher required

Now I know I have openGL on my machine because I downloaded it and installed it three times

anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem.

The manufacturers are sending me canned emails when i write to them which are no help whatsoever

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated

hmm, no-one has 'downloaded and installed opengl' in years, not consumers anyway. This sort of thing is covered by the graphics card drivers.

Assuming you have a fairly modern card capable of 3D graphics (basically any Nvidia, ATI, Matrox etc card purchased in the last 3+ years) then find out what your card is and download the latest drivers for it from the vendor's website.

here is the sound and video card info on my pc it is less than 4 months old


Model: SiS 650_651_M650_740
Driver: sisgrp.sys
08 January 2003
Supported


And I seem to have two sound cards

Manufacturer: Avance
Model: Avance AC97 Audio
Driver: alcxwdm.sys
08 January 2003
Supported

Manufacturer: Microsoft
Model: Unimodem Full-Duplex Audio Device
Driver: modemcsa.sys

Should I have 2 sound cards and could one be interfiering with the other in some way


What I might do is run a search for these and yes you are right OpenGL was already in windows xp according to the openGL website http://www.opengl.org but I downloaded it again from them in case my version was out of date or something

What operating system are you using? Have you actually tried getting the latest drivers for the graphics card (download.sis.com)? Or if it's branded pc, the manufacturers website?

The second card is merely the voice out driver on your modem and it's perfectly normal to have.
