What video card are you using? Do you have the latest drivers? Does the card support OpenGL? Jordan MCP, A+

Yes it is the latest drivers....
As far as support for OPENGL i have no idea.

Its a NVIDIA Geforce 2 MMX 64meg

forgot to mention, running XP PRO on NTFS

 

[Foordy]

Long time, no help. SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!!

I thought he did answer you. My uncle had something very similar. When I updated his video drivers everything was fine. Check out nvidia.com and get the latest detonator drivers. Everything should be fine from there.

Yes I already did that as I said in the reply!

Are you using the manufacturer's drivers or the basic ones from Nvidia. Nvidia makes the chips, but the card manufacturer sometimes do funny things with them. Try using the manufacture's latest drivers.
