open GL subsection RTCW

[steamman 0]

I have been trying to load from install, Return To Castle Wolfenstein. onto my XP. But I get the open GL subsection message, as if something is missing, this game plays well on my laptop xp but not on home pc. I dont want to continue on laptop due to overheat to such aheat active game. Is there a download or a way to get this application. many thanks Steamman.

Update your graphics driver.

XP's default drivers are bad for opengl.

Well, actually by default XP uses software OpenGL which works alright if you have a fast enough processor. I wouldn't say "XP's default drivers are bad for opengl" because XP doesn't include the OGL ICD's for specific video chipsets, just the generic software opengl32.dll file.
