Either I'm thick and am missing something obvious or my computer disagrees with GPL but I cannot get it to work so I'm throwing in the towel. Thanks to Malc & JensSchumi for their assistance - actually worked once, but when I came to it next day it CTD again and no more GPL! If anyone has ANY suggestions of what to do feel free to e-mail me. Basic system spec is: Pentium 4 2.8 processor with 512 RAM Creative Nvidia GeForce4 Ti4600 Creative Audigy Live! Sound Card Win XP Home Main error seems to be that GPL can't find OpenGL.dll, only one I can find is in system32 folder but is OpenGL32.dll. I have file indexing on, and active - have installed the patches in correct order and have tried both D3D & OpenGL patches seperately & together and no joy. I have run out of ideas guys, HELP!!!

Just taking a shot in the dark here... but you might want to double check your sound options in windows. I mistakenly left my sound setup on a 5.1 audio setting and GPL would not run for no money. Once I changed to a 4 speaker setup - Quadraphonic speaker setup, (which is what I had) GPL ran like a charm. I don't even know if GPL works on higher settings or not, it may depend on the sound card and such.

Get the nVidia 45.23 drivers here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-2k_45.23.html Remove your current drivers & install these instead. Then make sure you have the file called rendogl.dll in your gpl folder (the OpenGL patch), and give it a go. If you still have the same problem (can't find opengl.dll) I only have one other suggestion. Back in the 3DFX days it was fairly common to copy one of the dlls from the system folder to the game folder & rename it to opengl.dll. You're right that it should be using opengl32/dll instead, but I don't know whether copying & renaming it would work, or whether you need to do it with nvoglnt.dll instead. Give it a go, and remember to copy, not move ;-) Malc.
try copying it to your gpl directory and naming it opengl.dll "Chris Arkwright" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:cdufgu$ck2$[email hidden]... > Either I'm thick and am missing something obvious or my computer disagrees > with GPL but I cannot get it to work so I'm throwing in the towel.
