On a download site where i got the demo from did a scan on my pc and says that the computer has the ability to play the game.

any help would be great.

I think that the problem is your VGA, it's built-in, shared with the mother board, so the driver doesn't support OpenGL required to run the game

Try to update the driver for the VGA, even if it's built in the board, go to the main board manufacturer site and search for a VGA update

(If ur VGA is not built in so please post it's brand, model, and driver)

Try to search for a software called Glsetup, it's a freeware that integrates OpenGL in the VGA driver, but I think it's only for win 98, try to find one for XP

Good luck

i have a radion 9600 pro 256 mb card

I tried the whole updating the driver thing anyway and that has the problem fixed. I have tried to do this in the past and has never worked and now it works. well thats PC's for you.

Thanks for your help RockmasteR for now I can finally play this game.
