Could not load OpenGL. Make sure that you have the latest drivers for your video card from the manufacturer's web site.

Re: Need help with running games?

This is an OpenGl error, i would try to start the game in safe mode. If that fails, change the resolution of the monitor to its lowest settings and try again. If that fails, uninstall the game. Uninstall the graphic drivers and reinstall them in safe mode. Then reinstall the game.

Re: Need help with running games?

Did you do this with the antivirus disabled? Latest driver from ATI? Use driver cleaner?

Re: Need help with running games?

That board is pretty old. The 2000 series agp cards from ati are known to have problems with older motherboards. I would say try the latest bios but the last update was from 2004.

Re: Need help with running games?

the 450 would work better i have a 550 and im going to go get a 600 or 650 so i can get another 3870 and have quad gpu going. i would send your video card back and upgrade to atleast 512 mb on your video and a little more ram wouldn't hurt.
