OpenGL

I purchased star wars knight of the old republic 1 yesterday, I installed it and tryed to run it and it says something about OpenGl. The requirments say that an 32 mb opengl 1.4 compatible pci or agp 3d hardware accelerator with hardware transform and lighting capibility required. I have a ati radeon 7500 128 mb. Do I need a new video card to play this game or is the OpenGl some sort of driver that I can download? If I do need a new video card, how would I know that its OpenGL 1.4 compatible??

Make sure you installed all the drivers.

I know only the very latest cards support OpenGL 2.0 and most currently installed cards support 1.5.

According to what I've found it's been a hit-or-miss thing with the 7500's. I recommend getting a new card, at least a 9200 from ATi or FX5200 or higher from nVidia.
