GPL - WTF am I doing wrong?

Can anyone help me? I have just tried to reinstall GPL on Windows XP after having formatted HD. I've tried all the ways suggested on all the websites I can think of, and it still won't work. Neither does the 2004 demo, keeps saying it can't find opengl.dll, and I can't find it either! have latest drivers installed for graphics card (Creative NVidia Geforce 4 Ti4600), but no opengl! Any ideas gratefully received! Originally GPL worked because someone suggested a shortcut command addition of +set1 something but can't remember what - anyone know what it could have been can you tell me that too! I miss GPL now!!!!

I'm not a major know-it-all when it comes to GPL, but seeing as you mention using it on XP, have you ensured that you have indexing turned on for the GPL folder (this is a requirement if you have formatted using ntfs). If not then right-click on gpl folder >> down to properties >> advanced button. -- Pete Ives Remove ALL_STRESS before sending me an email

OpenGL.dll is a file that is installed with your graphics driver not gpl. It should be in your C:\WINNT\System32\ folder. If you are using the nVidia driver from Windows Update it may only offer D3D & not OpenGL, so try a driver from nVidia instead. With your 4600 the 45.23 drivers are probably best for gpl. Alternatively, there is a file called Rendogl.dll that should be in your gpl folder if you installed the OpenGL patch. There is a D3D (DirectX 7) patch too, you could try this instead. D3D is usually a little prettier, but OpenGL is generally a little quicker & less prone to font & FSAA corruption. Malc.

Try to get bare bones (1.000, software rendering) up first. Start over from there. We are sharing your pain. JensSchumi On Sat, 17 Jul 2004 21:57:43 +0000 (UTC), "Chris Arkwright" <[email hidden]> wrote:
