hey...i'm new here. i was reading a bunch of threads and a lot of you seem to know what you're talking about. i don't know much about computers...i thought that maybe some of you could help.

i wasn't sure what all of this meant but i figured that i needed "openGL." i went onto the openGL website and downloaded "GLsetup.exe" but when i try to install it i get a message saying that it is only installable on win98 and win95 OS's. i am running windows 2000 pro. what can i do. i am also thinking that maybe the problem is with my video card....but i'm not too sure.
here is some information about my computer so that maybe you can help me better:
AMD K-6 533
Trident Blade 3D
192 MB
Windows 2000 Pro
Direct X 8.1
...i don't know what other information you would need to diagnose my problem. hope you can help. thanks !!!!
rocky.
