quake2 and opengl

[cthulhu 0]

sorry if this question has been posed in the forum before.. i am not an avid gamer but quake2 was a classic for me and i did waste a lot of time in GX in my win98 days.

 

quake2 installs properly.. but it will not run in open gl. when i select default opengl mode i get the error message:

 

GLimp_EndFrame()-Swap Buffers() Failed

 

i have a tnt1 and have installed the latest nvidia detonator drivers for win2k [ver 5.22]

 

don't seem to have any problems with other games

run regedit

 

goto

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\OpenGLDrivers

 

delete the contents and make a new string called:

 

RIVATNT

 

and set the value to nvoglnt

 

EG:

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\OpenGLDrivers]

"RIVATNT"="nvoglnt"

do you delete the RIVATNT folder/key in the OpenGLDrivers? and then add in the string value?
