238891 2004-05-24 04:30:00 reinstall your video card driver robsonde (120)
238892 2004-05-24 04:51:00 Safest way with ME, is to boot up into safemode and then look under device manager for "Display adaptor" and delete all the adaptors. Restart PC and if it doesn't find the correct drivers, then just re-install them. If you don't have them, then download version 43.45 from here (www.nvidia.com). It is an older version than present, but works the best. Pheonix (280)
238893 2004-05-24 06:55:00 Opengl32.dll is a minidriver for OpenGl for you video card.
The error you are getting may be that driver version is not right for your software or video card. This could be that it came with Freemill and is a generic driver. Or it needs an older or newer version. Have had on some games where I have had to but an older version in to get the game to run properly.

Look in the folder where you have installed Freemill and see if it has opengl32.dll in it (you may find it in a sub-folder). Try replacing it with one from a game you know uses opengl that works(Rename the original file incase you need it back).

If you can't find it in Freemills folder, it is most likely using the one installed with the video drivers. Look in the Information Section in your Display properties, it should tell you if OpenGl drivers have been installed
and what version it is. Check on your Video Card manufacturers web site to see if you have the latest version. A newer version may fix the problem.

Hope this has helped.

Jeff.
