69807 2002-08-10 00:08:00 If you are running XP then go to the NVidia site and download the latest Detonator drivers that support XP . XP has no support for OpenGL built in so you need drivers that support openGL specifically .

Before you do that however have a look at this and try the DVA=0 tweak if indeed you have it enabled .

This error indicates a trouble initializing your 3D graphics card . The first thing to check would be to ensure that you meet the games requirements for at least a 16 MB video card with support for OpenGL . To find out what type of video card you have: Go to Start and select Run and type dxdiag and press Ok . Along the top of the tool click on the tab that says Display . On the left side near the top it will state the name . Also note the Aprox . Total Memory a couple lines below the name .
Next, ensure that you have the latest drivers installed for your card . You will want to check the card manufacturers web site for any updates and follow any directions that they provide .

Also, OpenGL does not work with multiple monitor setups . If you have a dual-display you will need to disable the secondary monitor .

Follow these steps to do so:
- Right click on the Desktop background and select 'Properties' - Click on the 'Settings' tab
- Click on the monitor that is labeled with a number '2'
- Uncheck the box that says "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor" .
- Click 'Apply' and 'Ok' . The game should now run properly .


If you are still receiving this error once both of these things are met check the following: Go to Start > Run and in the run box type "win . ini" without the quotes and click the OK button . The Win . ini window should come to the foreground, scroll through the list of items until you come to [DrawDib] . Look for a line under [DrawDib] that says DVA=0 and remove it . Click File, then Save and close the Sysedit program . Try the game at this point .

If you do not see the DVA=0 line under the [DrawDib] section, then this is not the cause of your problem . DVA stands for Direct Video Access, and is commonly set to 0 to fix issues with older games or video problems with old software . Unfortunately it causes the game to not recognize OpenGL support on your system as well . The only way to fix this is to remove that line . This should not affect anything on your system .
